Free online classes offered through library

Johnson County Public Library is offering cardholders a chance to boost skills with online courses — all free of charge.

Patrons can access thousands of online courses in Microsoft Office, Photoshop, web design, business, marketing and more at no cost.

The Lynda.com video library offers users a chance to grow skills in graphic design, computer programming, photography and video.

The videos are ideal for users just beginning the programs, those who need a refresher or just a quick how-to on a specific function. Software includes Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, Google Apps, iMovie and Final Cut Pro.

Users need a library card and their PIN number, which is the last four digits of their card number unless they have set a new PIN. Visit pageafterpage.org/lynda to log in and create a Lynda.com account.

Lynda.com is only accessible to patrons living in the Johnson County Public Library district.
