Important News for Lynda.com Users

All classes end on Dec. 20, 2019
Lynda.com for Libraries--now called LinkedInLearning--has made considerable changes to its terms of use that impact library patrons' privacy.

Due to these concerns, the Flatirons Library Consortium, of which Boulder Public Library is a member, will not renew its subscription to Lynda.com. For other online learning options, visit our Lifelong Learning page.

Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face and the Badness of Badgers by John Dougherty 

“This book is a fun, easy read with LOTS of silliness and some illustrations for the younger set while still having enough of a plot and length to the story to keep it interesting for those late elementary and middle-schoolers. If you like this one, you can rejoice because it is the first of a series!” - Sarah, George Reynolds
