If you’re serious about learning a specific skill, all you need is your GCPL card and a computer or mobile device.

We are pleased to offer the entire Lynda.com curriculum to GCPL card holders.

Lynda.com is an online learning site that typically requires a paid subscription of $37.50 per month.

However, your library card and PIN are all you need via GeaugaLibrary.net. Lynda.com offers instruction

in more than 3,000 courses. Tutorials are broken into easy-to-understand video segments with exercises.

Topics range from business, software and technical matters to creative pursuits.

Chase your goals with Lynda.com. You do not need to spend a fortune for expensive training and

seminars. All you need is a library card and a desire sharpen your skills. Courses are designed by

instructors with a proven track record in their subject areas and the educational experience to deliver

quality training. Transcripts are searchable so that users can quickly find key concepts or refresh their

knowledge in a specific area.

Patrons must use the GeaugaLibrary.net website portal to access Lynda.com’s content, not Lynda.com

directly. Also, while mobile devices support Lynda.com, users need to access it via the web browser, not

from Lynda.com apps. Find Lynda.com content at GeaugaLibrary.net.
