Please bring a donation of cat or dog food for Animal Friends or a donation to the Sewickley Library Book Fund.

Learn a new skill with Lynda.com In August, the Sewickley Public Library added Lynda.com to our collection of eResources.

Lynda.com is an online resource with more than 3,000 course offerings and over 130,000 videos on topics of web design, education, media production, business, and more.

Our Reference staff have a focused goal of providing technical literacy training for the public.

Lynda.com allows us to offer patrons of all ages a collection of more in depth and specialized courses than we are able to offer in person. Our staff continues to offer introductory computer classes and clubs to help prepare area residents for an increasingly digital world.

We also offer 1-on-1 tech café sessions that provide individual assistance.

Access to Lynda.com will save an individual $240 a year - the cost of a basic membership.

Anyone with a Sewickley Library card can setup an account using his or her card number and pin to start learning immediately!
