Here's another way to chop the cord,thanks to your local library.
Anyone with a card for the novel York or Brooklyn public libraries won't need to rely on cable TV to watch more than 30000 films, documentaries, and foreign language films and training videos. Instead they can now consume the streaming service Kanopy for free. Included are films from the Criterion Collection,an acclaimed distributor that focuses on art-house titles.
Phil Clark from Long Beach is a fan of films and says the service is a great way for young people to get exposed to classic movies.“Some kids think a 10-year-old film is old,” he said. “But there are really wonderful films from the silent days and the '30s and '40s. It’s terrific.”Movies can be streamed to their phones, or tablets,computers and smart TVs.novel York Public Library card holders can access 10 films a month (start here) while Brooklyn library card holders can stream six (move here). The Queens library does not offer the service yet, but they say they’re working on it.
