The Abilene Public Library has announced that cardholders now have free access to the streaming service FOX West Texas. This partnership allows library patrons to watch live and on-demand programming from the local FOX affiliate, including news, sports, and entertainment content. The service can be accessed on various devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers with an internet connection. This new offering expands the library’s digital services and provides additional entertainment options for the community.

If you have a library card from the Abilene Public Library, then you’re in luck! You now have free access to Kanopy, their newest digital offering. This streaming platform has a variety of films, TV shows, documentaries, and educational content for you to enjoy.

Signing up is a breeze, and it’s totally free with a valid library card if you’re 18 and older. With Kanopy, you’ll get to watch popular movies, classic cinema, indie favorites, and even educational content for all ages. Plus, they have a special section just for kids, so you can rest assured that your little ones are watching safe and engaging content.

Using Kanopy is easy with your Abilene Public Library card. General users can borrow up to 15 titles per month, with most movies costing 2 tickets and TV show seasons requiring up to 5 tickets. Don’t worry, your tickets refresh at the start of each month, but they don’t roll over, so make sure to use them up. For kids, there’s the Kanopy Kids section with unlimited streaming options. Just log in, select “Kanopy Kids,” and enter your PIN for kid-friendly viewing.

Ready to start watching? Head to abilenetx.kanopy.com or download the app on your device. You’ll need your 13-digit library card number, then create an account with your name, email, and password. Once that’s done, browse the collection, borrow your favorite titles, and start watching. Movies are available for 72 hours, and TV seasons for 5 days.
