If you have an Indianapolis Public Library card, there is so much you can access right from the comfort of your own home including books, movies, music and even classes.

There is content available on these platforms for people of all ages, from kids to adults.

Stream music

You can use hoopla to stream music for free with your library card. Even recent releases are available to borrow and stream.

Watch movies and TV shows

You can access movies and TV shows using hoopla and Kanopy. Both platforms have movie libraries that are accessible after entering in your library card information.

Access audiobooks, e-books and magazines

You can use services like EBSCO, Flipster, hoopla, Libby and TumbleBook to borrow audiobooks, e-books and magazines all for free. You just have to sign in and enter in your library card information and you're ready to go.

Take lessons with LinkedIn

Typically, LinkedIn Learning costs individuals from $19.99 to $29.99 per month, but is another service that is free for Indianapolis Public Library cardholders.

From lessons on effective customer service and management techniques to training on unconscious bias, there are a wide array of options to meet various needs. Cardholders can learn marketing, photography, how to write a resume, or take a course on a specific program, such as Microsoft Excel or Adobe Photoshop.
