Hello and Happy New Year!  My name is Rebecca, and I am the Information Literacy Librarian here at the Chester County Library.  (You might recognize me as the librarian with the purple hair!)  Welcome to a new series here on our blog where every week (or thereabouts) I’ll be introducing you to one of the library’s databases.  A library database, for those who are unsure, is essentially just an online resource that the library pays for so that you can access it for free with your library card!

This post is number four in the series.  If you missed the previous posts, you can find them here.  This week, I will be talking about LearningExpress Library.  Now that 2025 is here and we’re all making our New Year’s resolutions, I’d bet that some of you have at least one resolution on your list along the lines of “learn a new skill,” “improve an old skill,” or “pass such-and-such exam.”  Raise your hand if this is you!

Well, LearningExpress Library can help you with these things and more!  It supports those looking to improve core academic skills, pass a high school equivalency test, prepare for college, explore careers, join the military, study for occupational certification tests, become a U.S. citizen, and much more.  Learning centers contain practice tests, interactive tutorials, microlessons, e-books, articles, and flashcards.  To access the learning centers, simply follow the link on our website and create an account so that you can save your progress.

Happy learning!
