Kanopy is an on-demand streaming video platform for public libraries, colleges and universities that offers films and documentaries. The service is free for users, but content owners and creators are paid on a pay-per-view model by the institution. The company was founded in Australia in 2008, moving its headquarters to the United States a few years later. On June 9, 2021, it was announced that OverDrive had reached a deal to acquire Kanopy. Kanopy's subdivision, Kanopy Kids, includes children's programming; all Kanopy member accounts have access to Kanopy Kids.
