Lynda.com is back at the library

Lynda.com  provides online tutorials.  The library used to offer Lynda courses for free, but dropped it when it changed its privacy policy.  It wanted to collect data that violated the library ‘s privacy policy.  Now it’s back offering free courses.

Lynda.com is now owned by Linkedin, so I’m sure its emphasis is business courses.  Lynda offers courses in photography, WordPress, web design and development, business and professional development, and much more.

Courses are free if you go through the library web site.  To get started, go to the Contra Costa Library site, and click on the Lynda.com link.  You will need a library card to log in.

Trivia Fan-Atics

Every Other Wednesday 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Do you enjoy the challenge of playing trivia?  Want to have a good laugh and lots of fun while you exercise your brain?  Then this is the activity for you!  Join us on  every other Wednesday of each month for a fun filled afternoon of trivia challenge.  Check the calendar or watch the posts for scheduled sessions.  This is a drop-in activity so no registration is required.  Your hosts will be Bob and Cindy Mohler.

Open to all seniors, but space is limited.  If you are interested, please contact Bob Mohler at bobmohler82@gmail.com. You will receive an email invitation with a link to the ZOOM session a day or so prior to the Trivia session.

Let’s Sing

Every Friday at 1 pm.

The group sings solos and duets as song leaders. Participants choose their songs each week from a long list of available songs. When a participant sings, the rest of us Mute so that we can sing along at home without being heard by others. That avoids problems of a sound delay. A lyrics booklet is available for printing at home.

If interested, email Robin at rzzwolf@gmail.com to receive an email invitation with a link to join the Zoom meeting.

Newsletter – July 2020

This website published the problems of distributing a newsletter by email.  We have simplified our newsletter so that more go through.  Judging from the boards experience it’s working.

However, it translates poorly to the web site, so we are offering it in PDF format.

Here is the June newsletter:
