The Moorestown Library now provides free access to courses and self-training opportunities via Lynda.com and Universal Class to anyone with a Moorestown Library Card.
Lynda.com is a leading online learning platform that helps anyone learn business, software, technology and creative. Universal Class offers lifelong learning courses in more than 30 subject areas, many of which offer continuing education units (CEUs). More than 500 courses are available, and all are designed and led by professional instructors.
To access these and other training resources, visit www.moorestownlibrary.org and click on Online Learning. A Moorestown Library card number will be required. Moorestown residents can apply for a library card by visiting the library or by completing an application online.
“It is our hope that these new resources will help Moorestown residents who are looking to develop skills and expertise for their business or for future employment,” says Joan Serpico, Moorestown Library Director.
The library now has expanded hours and is open on Mondays through Fridays from 9:30 a.m.to 4:30 p.m. The library is open on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
