The Free Library of Philadelphia is pleased to announce that beginning today we will offer free access to Lynda.com with your library card!

Lynda.com is an online training and learning tool for business, software, technology, and creative skills. Offering over 10,000 training and development courses taught by industry experts, Lynda.com offers tutorials in five languages. You will find courses and training videos on everything from web design to media production, management to entrepreneurship, Photoshop to guitar, and much more. Take a look at some of the new content Lynda.com is excited about in the short video below:



These lessons and videos go far beyond what you might find on You Tube and are a great way to keep learning even when you can't get to the library in person. Lynda.com is available with your library card from your home or mobile device - anywhere you access the internet! Get started with Lynda.com from our database page or our Digital Learning Portal.

The first time you visit Lynda.com, you will be asked for your library card number and PIN (if you're new to the Free Library, you can request a library card online. If you are a current cardholder and have forgotten your library card or PIN number(s), you can retreive that information online as well). You will then be invited to register with Lynda.com using your name and email address. At this point, you're ready to begin learning!

Enjoy Lynda.com and let us know what you think of this new resource in the comments below.
