• Click on LinkedIn Learning
• Log in with your library card number and pin

Certificates of Completion are also awarded for successfully completing a course so users can keep track of their learning. Some of the courses offered include, business software, design software, web design, social media and web publishing tools, photographer, business and career skills and job search skills. Normally, a subscription to LinkedIn Learning is $29.99 a month.

Earlier this year, the North Las Vegas Library District was selected as a finalist for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Award for its innovative programs and educational initiatives. Funding for LinkedIn Learning is made possible through an IMLS grant, administered by the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records division.
