Friends and colleagues, we have some good news this Friday afternoon. Maybe you are at KPLA, maybe you took the afternoon off and will find this message Monday. We can’t wait to share!
For the last many months, we had been looking at some additions to our LearningExpress content. I have excellent news! We have just added new content to LearningExpress! Financial Fit, AWS Training Center, PrepStep for High School and PrepStep for College. AND, LearningExpress Complete!
Be aware that “Admission Test Prep” is now “Prepare for College.”
A press release is coming, online training and more. All content is accessible once you are in LearningExpress.
We'll be sorting out details of new links and sending those out to those who need them. Remember, each school district, public library and KYVL member site has its own unique URL with the auth token that identifies usage for your location. Get in touch if you need new links.
We now have the following –
