Attention Kanopy lovers! Starting November 1, Kanopy is making their credits more transparent by switching to tickets. You will get 16 tickets to use each month, and the titles you choose to watch will tell you how many tickets it costs.
And watching trailers is still free! Pressing Play on a title will cost you the amount of tickets listed next to the movie or TV show. Not ready to spend them? Put it on your Watchlist!

You can stream free movies and TV shows with your library card.* It has thousands of feature films, documentaries, and bingeable series. Here's how to get started:

*Access to ICPL's Kanopy collection is limited to residents of Iowa City and our contracted service areas. Residents outside these areas can contact their local library about using Kanopy with their home library card.
Way back before being swamped with work and life, I loved getting emails from sites that would teach me a new word each day. This books takes that curiosity for language to new heights. After all, words enter language when enough members of a group recognize its meaning as true. What is the meaning of "jouska?" According to The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, it means "a hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head." And to be "looseleft" is to have that "sense of loss upon finishing a good book." But you know the great thing about creative reference books like this one? Once finished, you can always open a random page and savor a definition again. Truly enjoyable! -Melody
