Back to SearchPetoskey District Library expands access with Roku devices
Petoskey District Library (PDL) is pleased to announce the launch of its new Roku lending service, further expanding access to streaming content for their cardholders. PDL patrons can now check out Roku devices loaded with popular streaming channels and services, all at no cost with a library card.
A Roku is a streaming device that allows users to watch TV shows, movies, and more using the internet on their TVs. This new offering adds to the library’s already robust collection of streaming movie services, including hoopla and Kanopy, which provide thousands of films and documentaries to stream to personal devices. Now, with the addition of pre-configured Roku devices, patrons can enjoy an even wider variety of movies, TV shows, and educational content on their home TVs without needing to purchase individual streaming subscriptions.
“We’ve always sought to offer our patrons cutting-edge services, and this new Roku lending program is a great extension of our digital offerings. Patrons who want to access popular shows and movies on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO, Acorn TV, Britbox, Paramount, and Apple TV will now have the option to borrow a subscription for one week at a time, ensuring that everyone in our community has access to great content,” said Mary Beauchamp, adult services librarian.
To check out a Roku device, patrons can visit the library’s reference desk, or place a request online through the library catalog. This service is available to all PDL cardholders over age 18 who sign the “Library of Things” agreement. Questions regarding borrowing Roku devices should be directed to PDL’s adult services department at mbeauchamp@petoskeylibrary.org.
