LinkedIn Learning

We are pleased to offer Alexandria Public Library cardholders access to the LinkedIn Learning library of instructional videos!

Normally, LinkedIn requires a paid subscription but with an APL library card you can access LinkedIn content from any computer with an Internet connection by entering your card number and four digit PIN.

Need a library card?
Stop by the library and fill out a quick application.

After creating an account (only requires your name and e-mail address), you can watch videos, create playlists, bookmark pages, and obtain Certificates of Completion (that can be uploaded to your LinkedIn profile).
Many courses also feature exercise files, so that if you’re watching a tutorial about Microsoft Excel you can follow the activity with downloadable, pre-populated Excel spreadsheet files.
