Welcome

Welcome to the Freeport Memorial Library blog. We hope to use this blog to offer in-depth information about library services that we do not have room to explore in our bi-monthly newsletter. We look forward to hearing from you.

New Database

Lynda.com

The Freeport Memorial Library is pleased to offer its cardholders access to Linda.com's library of instructional videos. Normally, using lynda.com requires a paid subscription, but as a Freeport library cardholder you can access Lynda.com content from any computer with an Internet connection simply by entering your 14-digit BPL library card barcode.

What is lynda.com?
Lynda.com is an online learning site that hosts a constantly growing library of over 3,000 courses that include over 130,000 videos. Courses cover a variety of topics (including business, design, web development and multimedia skills) and software (Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite and open source applications) that can help you pursue personal and professional goals. These courses are delivered by expert instructors and feature searchable transcripts that make it easy to find quick answers to questions. They also feature Certificates of Completion that can be uploaded to a LinkedIn profile.
