December Library Newsletter
LinkedIn Learning
LinkedIn Learning is a resource that allows user to search and watch hundreds of thousands of videos on a wide range of topics, everything from Microsoft Office how-tos to conflict management to video editing software--and everything in between and so much more.
You will be receiving an Invitation from NPC and it will use the same sign-in that you are already using for the college. It also ties to your LinkedIn profile if you have one.
All students and employees of NPC are welcome to join!
Subject Guides
Subject Guides are specific to one topic. We have some for specific courses, programs, or general interests.
Tech Hubs
Tech Hubs are now supervised by the Libraries! Have questions? Please contact Shannon Motter shannon.motter@npc.edu

Readers and Writers' Book Club
Join the fun! Participants zoom in to discuss whatever they are currently reading, or just listen to what others are. Like Stephen King? So do some of us. Like abstract academic works? So do some of us. We discuss both and everything in between. First Thursdays at NOON.
Data Nerds Book Club
Our next meeting will be in January.
Adult Storytime
Each Fridays at Noon we read stories. What could be better than someone reading to you? So join us, eat your lunch, and enjoy a great short story.
Remote Warriors
Do you work remotely? Whether it is permanent or temporary, join our group to find others in similar circumstances. Find friendship and tricks that make life better for you, and the students we serve. We meet virtual on the First and Third Tuesdays at 9:30am.
