Join us for a special Early Music Concert at the Woodbridge Main Library on Thursday, December 19, from 7:00 - 8:00 PM presented by The Ill-Tempered Clavichord.
 
Stop by for a delightful hour of early music (and some fun).  Early music is not all classical, boring stuff.  The pieces can be lively, interesting and sometimes terrible.  We are planning on playing one of the WORST (but really fun) pieces from the Baroque Period. You will also be able to come up and see how a harpsichord works and try out a real recorder.

Message about Lynda.com

!

Lynda.com, now called Linkedin Learning, has formally discontinued service to libraries and is no longer available via the Woodbridge Public Library. Among other changes, the new service requires users to create a LinkedIn social media account and publicly displays on that account which courses the user has taken. These changes violate the Library’s commitment to insuring that patrons' use records are confidential.

The Woodbridge Public Library will continue offering other learning services, including Learning Express Library and Job and Career Accelerator, and is presently considering other services to offer in place of Lynda.com/LinkedIn Learning.

For more information on libraries' concerns with LinkedIn Learning, please see this article from the American Library Association's Office of Intellectual Freedom.
