A college instructor or an expert in the field teaches each course. Course requirements, format and assignments vary by course and instructor. At each course listing you can check details, syllabus, instructor bio and requirements. Of course, since these are all online courses, you need access to a computer and Internet access.

 

To use Learn4Life, you'll need your Livingston Public Library card number. Get started by going to livingston.bccls.org and click on the Learn4Life icon.

 

·        Search for the course you are looking for or browse the catalog to view the 100s of titles that are available.

·        Click on the “Enroll Now” button.

·        Choose the start date you would like (please note, you will not be able to access lesson one until that start date).

·        If this is your first time enrolling in an Learn4Life course, enter your email address in the New Patron Box and click on “Create Account”.  If you are a returning patron simply type in your email address and password used in your last registration.

·        If this is your first time, you will need to complete the Account and Information page. Returning users will be taken directly to the payment page.  Please note that you can submit generic information in the patron section. Your information is not tracked or shared.

·        At the Payment Options Page, the cost is $0; just enter the full 14-digit number on your Livingston Library card.

 

You may take up to 5 courses in a calendar year. If you take classes in 2013, the limit resets to 5 again in January 2014.

 

 

Once you’re enrolled you’ll receive a confirmation at the email address you provided.  If you need assistance, just click on the “Help” tab at the top of the page to e-mail a member of the Patron Support Team. 

 

 Enjoy your course!
