Lynda.com Discount for MLA Members

We are excited to partner with LinkedIn to offer Lynda.com to Michigan libraries at a discounted rate. Libraries that join our consortium will receive a minimum discount of 5% but the more libraries that join, the greater the discount will be! With libraries closed across the state, Lynda.com provides public library patrons with access to 15,500+ online courses. Inspire anyone to learn the latest software, creative and business skills. Give users of any skill level bite-size tutorials, or comprehensive courses, on hundreds of topics and encourage personalized and self-paced learning for those looking to gain new skills in their time at home or to re-skill after a layoff.

To take advantage of discount pricing, new subscribers will need to sign up and return order forms by June 1, 2020, for services beginning in mid-June.

For details about Lynda.com and to subscribe please contact Sam Steele, Regional Account Executive, State & Local, LinkedIn Learning at [email protected] or call (415) 801-1071. For questions about MLA membership or member benefits, contact MLA Membership and Communications Director, Rachel Ash at [email protected].
