This page includes a list of free on-demand video streaming services that can be shared with patrons. This is intended to help supplement Peace Library System’s absence of a video streaming platform.
Some of these platforms will have premium options, where users can pay a monthly fee to subscribe to content unavailable to free users.
In order for on-demand content to be free to users, there may be advertisements. Ads tend to be shorter than standard commercials on television.
