LinkedIn Learning, Codeacademy, Duolingo, Udacity, etc. for Free
Public libraries often have free access to many pay services - LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com) for instance. More specifically, the Free Library of Philadelphia (FLP) system, the New York Public Library (NYPL) system, and perhaps others, provide full access to Lynda.com as well as other e-learning solutions through personal accounts by logging in with the library card number and PIN. The FLP article describing this is here: Access Lynda.com through the library digital portal with just my library card info. The NYPL article describing this is here.
The Free Library of Philadelphia databases page also lists (besides LinkedIn) Codeacademy, Duolingo, Khan Academy, Udacity, Mango Languages and a few others. Card holders may also borrow audio books from the library offerings. Residents of Pennsylvania can apply for a free FLP card here: https://know.freelibrary.org/MyResearch/register.
