Huron County Community Library Offers Free Access to Online Educational Courses
All locations of the Huron County Community Library are now offering cardholders free
access to online educational courses from Lynda.com.
Now owned by LinkedIn, Lynda.com has been the leading provider of online learning content for
20 years. The service has more than 12,000 courses, ranging from computer programming to
project management including instruction on various computer software, programming
languages, and business topics. The video courses are taught by industry experts and are designed
for any skill level. Lynda.com also offers more than 50 different learning paths to help users stay
ahead in their current job or change careers.
It's free to patrons, so if you have an account with us all you need is your library card number
and PIN. You can access Lynda.com inside or outside the library, from any device with an
internet connection.

Providing Lynda.com is another way that we are supporting the local community and small
businesses in our area. Whether you are a professional wanting to sharpen your skills, or an
amateur starting from square one, Lynda.com can provide the instruction you need. And, it’s free
with your library card.
