Public Libraries for Community College Students

This guide includes public library resources available at no cost to community college students and the general public for academic, professional, and personal development.

Streaming Video and Music

Play IconWith a public library card you have free access to digital music and video streaming services. Most of the listed services have apps that you can download to a mobile device and stream content. Hoopla and Kanopy have apps that can be added to a smart TV, Fire Stick, Roku or Chromecast so you can watch free content through your TV. 

Each library gives you a certain amount of credits. A pro-library-user has library cards from both LA County Library and LAPL so they can binge a whole season of a TV show in one weekend!

Hoopla and Kanopy both have Great Courses films, documentary and academic content, so you can enhance your studies.
