I love a lot about being a Librarian. I love when I’m able to recommend the perfect book to a patron. I love being able to help people find the research they need to finish a school project or start a business. I love the look of understanding on people’s faces when they finally get how an app works and their lives are made easier because of it.

But I particularly love that the library is still a place for life-long learning, and one of the best resources for adults who remain intellectually curious is The Great Courses. We’ve long offered these lectures from world-class professors as books on CD and DVDs, but the video courses are also available streaming. Some of them are available through Hoopla and others are on Kanopy, but we also recently added the official The Great Courses streaming service. It’s offered by the same company (RBDigital) that provides Acorn TV, so if you have an RBDigital account set up, you’re already well on your way to getting started. Check out my handout for more information or stop in and ask us all about it.
