If you're looking for a way to access the entire LinkedIn Learning library and unlock exclusive content and special offers, then a Library Card is just what you need. A Library Card is a subscription plan that provides users with unlimited access to LinkedIn Learning's vast library of courses and tutorials.

With a Library Card, you'll have the ability to keep track of your progress with a personalized learning dashboard, download courses for offline viewing, save courses to a personalized library, and access exclusive content and special offers. It's the perfect way to learn new skills, stay up to date with industry trends, and expand your professional network.

So how do you get started with a Library Card on LinkedIn Learning? If you're a member of a participating public library, you may already have access to a Library Card. Simply visit your library's website to check if they offer LinkedIn Learning subscriptions, and follow the instructions to sign up and start learning. Once you have your Library Card credentials, log in to LinkedIn Learning using your library card number and PIN to start exploring the platform's wealth of courses and tutorials.

If you've located a library near you that provides free access to LinkedIn Learning, such as King County Library or Tacoma Library System, the next step is to affiliate yourself with that library. If you don't have a library card, you'll need to obtain one as soon as possible. In the United States, a government-issued photo ID is all you need to get a library card. If your ID does not contain your current address, you will need to provide proof of residency. 

The following documents can be used as proof of identity: 

• State driver’s license, 

• State identification card, 

• Expired driver’s license (with address verification if the address is not current), 

• Passport, 

• State ID, 

• Military-issued ID, 

• Work ID, 

• Student ID,

• Work Visa. 

The following documents can be used to verify your address: 

• Some Postmarked Mail, 

• Bank Statement or a Checkbook, 

• Lease Agreement or Mortgage Paperwork, 

• Current Class Schedule or Report Card, 

• Voter's Registration Card,

• Utility Bill. 

To sign up for LinkedIn Learning, you'll need to go to https://www.linkedin.com/learning-login/go and affiliate yourself with the library system associated with your account. For example, if you're a member of the King Country Library or Tacoma Library, you'll need to input the library system's URL, such as https://www.linkedin.com/learning-login/go/kcls or https://www.linkedin.com/lerning-login/go/tacomalibrary. Once you've entered your library ID, you can press enter or click continue to proceed. 

To access LinkedIn Learning, input your library card number and pin, then click continue. For those with a LinkedIn account, simply enter your email and password to log in. If you don't have a LinkedIn account, you can create one. Once logged in, you'll have access to all the LinkedIn Learning courses your library has a subscription for. 

Once you have logged in using your library card and PIN, and created an account (which requires only your name and email address), you can watch videos, create playlists, bookmark pages, and receive Certificates of Completion, which can be uploaded to your LinkedIn profile, or downloaded for emailing or printing. Additionally, many courses include free exercise files, allowing you to follow along with pre-populated Excel spreadsheet files, for example.

If you encounter any issues, try the following troubleshooting tips:

1. Check that you have entered the correct library card number and PIN, without any typos or errors.

2. If you are unable to access LinkedIn Learning through your library's website, try logging in directly on the LinkedIn Learning website using your library card information.

3. Confirm that your library's subscription to LinkedIn Learning is still active and has not expired or been canceled.

4. Contact your library's customer service for further assistance if you continue to experience issues logging in.

5. Ensure that you are entering the correct information and have a valid email address if you are having trouble creating a LinkedIn account.

6. Use the "Forgot password" feature on the login page to reset your LinkedIn password if you have forgotten it.

7. Make sure your device or browser is compatible with LinkedIn Learning by using the latest version of a popular browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.

8. Clear your browser's cache and cookies if you continue to encounter issues.

9. Disable any VPN or proxy you may be using to see if this resolves any issues.

10. Try accessing the platform from a different device or network if none of the above steps work.

To summarize, accessing LinkedIn Learning with your library card is a straightforward process. First, visit your local library's website and locate the link to access LinkedIn Learning. Enter your library card number and PIN, and if you have a LinkedIn account, log in using your email and password. Otherwise, create a new account. You will then have access to all of the courses your library has subscribed to. If you experience any issues during the process, refer to the troubleshooting tips above or contact your library's customer service for assistance.
