Libraries offer professional skill-building service

From the Sweetwater County Library System

The Sweetwater County Library System is excited to offer a new service to help patrons build their professional skills.

Lynda.com is now available through the library’s website at sweetwaterlibraries.com. Lynda.com is a LinkedIn learning library that offers more than 7,000 on-demand courses that can be accessed anytime to help people achieve their personal and professional goals. With bite-sized content, patrons have unlimited access to a large library of high-quality, current, and engaging video tutorials taught by recognized industry experts. From short videos to longer courses, patrons using the Lynda database can learn everything from a new software to business, creative and communication skills.

“While the libraries still do not have a scheduled reopening date, we are happy to be able to offer this great new service to our patrons,” said Assistant Director Lindsey Travis.
