Kim Gaskill encourages you to get a library card and use free resources like Lynda.com courses. She also invites you to join her Facebook group Go Connect IRL to connect with people in your community.
Good morning from Scottsdale, Arizona. I'm Kim Gaskill and this is the Daily Spark. I'm here in Scottsdale sitting in the parking lot of the library looking at the mountain, watching the sunrise of course, and it is fantastic. But the library behind me is pretty cool as well. See, I wanted to say cool and awesome at the same time. Anyway, it is cool and awesome. And if you're not checking out the library in your community, you need to be because it could be cool and awesome as well. And what's inside there, the resources that are available, and most of them at no cost, that's pretty cool. One of the things, if you do not have a library card, you need to go get one because a lot of the libraries are starting to hook up with Lynda.com. If you're not familiar with Lynda.com, it is an online training resource, been around for years. If you're interested in any of the Adobe products, Microsoft Office products, or others, but anything that's been around for a long time, they have some amazing courses on there. And you get that subscription free with your library card. How cool is that? So I challenge you today, which is what I did with my Facebook group, Go Connect, last week, I challenged them to go to the library, see what's available, get a library card if you don't have one, and start utilizing the resources that are all around you. That's what it's all about. And if you want to come and join my group, Go Connect, come over to Facebook, Go Connect IRL, in real life, because that's what you need to do is go connect in real life. Get out there and make the connections. Just explore the possibilities, guys. It's amazing what's out there. I'll catch you again tomorrow for another Daily Spark.
