Even if you don't live in Arlington, you might find that, living nearby, you qualify for an Arlington library card on a reciprocal basis.

Library’s Educational Video Service Now Available at Home

by Mariah Joyce — July 15, 2015 at 3:45 pm

Arlington Public Library’s Lynda.com educational video service is now available to any resident with a library card and an internet connection.

The library has subscribed to Lynda.com, a website that offers almost 130,000 educational videos on topics ranging from marketing to graphic design to economics, for the past several years. However, until four months ago, the service was only accessible from a physical library location.

Library spokesman Peter Golkin says that has now changed.

“The Lynda videos can now be accessed anywhere there’s an internet connection — that’s made these much more useful and much more popular,” said Golkin. All library patrons need to do to access the service remotely is sign in with their library card and PIN number, according to the library website.
