Kanopy app Canva share for FB & IG Stories
by Katie Rothley 11 Jul '23

11 Jul '23

Hey TLN and Michlib-L libraries, If you offer Kanopy, and you're interested... please feel welcome to access this Canva template specifically formatted for Facebook and Instagram stories advertising Kanopy movies, and customize with your own branding using this link. <https://www.canva.com/design/DAFoW4R2vzU/NWHb7mBjGW1q5vHs2brUSw/edit?utm_co…> Please make a copy for your own account so other people can use these too. I also used the *frame* element for the movies, which enables you to easily switch out the Kanopy movies. If you don't know what "frame" means in Canva, just copy and paste a movie cover into the Canva project and then drag and drop it into the existing rectangle that already has a movie in it- it will automatically replace it! No need to resize images every single time. Hope this is a tiny bit helpful for someone and happy Tuesday! -- Katie Rothley, MLIS Marketing & Public Relations Librarian Northville District Library 212 West Cady Street Northville, MI 48167 (248) 349-3020 <callto:(248)+349-3020> ext. 221 https://northvillelibrary.org
