You have 18 tickets each month. Here is how tickets work.
Parental Controls. Just like libraries that circulate feature films in their physical collections, Kanopy includes movies from around the world that may be appropriate for adult audiences. If you log in with your account, you can use the pull down menu where you see your name and choose Parental Controls. Then, any devices you are logged into can be set to only access Kanopy Kids. That limits access to any users of those devices to the content for kids until you enter a PIN on that device to re-activate access to the entire platform.
