Library adds streaming

As Arthur the aardvark teaches children, having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card.

And card-holders will soon be able to have even more fun in the Okanagan.

Okanagan Regional Library has added a new streaming video service to its offerings that will be available to anyone with a library card.

IndieFlix hosts a collection of more than 7,000 independent movies, including festival hits from Sundance and Cannes.

Those with an Okanagan Regional Library card will be able to stream videos using the Netflix-like service on any Internet-connected computer, tablet or smartphone.

“What’s great about this collection is that the content is always available for streaming. There are no holds or waiting or downloading needed,” said Chantelle McGee, the library’s virtual branch head.

IndieFlix offers documentaries, films and television shows.

The streaming service is $5 per month for those without a library card.
