Linda Reimer

Hi everyone, taking a week of vacation the first week in March, combined with a busy month in Library Land, and I just didn’t quite get to publishing streaming recommendations for March on the first of the month, sorry about that!

So since it is half-way through March, I’m going to do something different and offer a special list of recommended streaming titles from Kanopy, the new streaming service available for free to all Southern Tier Library System member library card holders

Kanopy allows you to stream thousands of videos, for free, on demand.

You can access Kanopy through a web browser by going to https://www.kanopy.com/en

Alternately, you can download the Kanopy app to your smartphone, tablet or media streaming player (i.e. Roku, Google TV, Fire TV etc.)

All you need to set up a free Kanopy account – is a library card!

–

And here are our ten recommended Kanopy streams for March:

Banned Together (2025)

When teenager Marty McFly (Michael J.

Powered by innovative special effects, unforgettable songs and non-stop action, Back to the Future is an unrivaled adventure that stands the test of time! MPAA Rating: PG. Run Time: 116 minutes.

Library doors open at 6:45 to admit film-goers and the movie starts at 7 p.m. sharp.

Monthly Science Fiction Film @ SSCL — This Friday – July 10!

Linda Reimer

Don’t forget to join is this Friday, July 10 for our Monthly Science Fiction Film @ The Library.

This month your Digital Literacy Services host will be showing the 2005 film “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”

The film is based on the Douglas Adams books — here’s an overview of the film: Here’s the absolutely hysterical, wonderfully wild, cosmic adventure comedy THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. Based on Douglas Adams’ worldwide best-selling novel, and starring an outrageous intergalactic cast, this is one ride you don’t want to miss. Seconds before Earth is destroyed to make way for a new hyperspace express route, mild-mannered Arthur Dent is whisked into space by his best friend (an alien posing as an out-of-work actor). And so the misadventures begin as he and fellow travelers, including the cool but dim-witted President of the Galaxy, the Earth girl Trillian, and Marvin the paranoid android, search for answers to the mystery of Life, the Universe, and Everything. MPAA Rating: PG. Run Time: 109 minutes.

Refreshments will be provided.

Library doors will be open from 6:45 to 7 p.m. to admit film-goers and the movie starts at 7 p.m. — join us!
