Universal Class
What is it?
Over 500 self-paced asynchronous classes, many offering CEUs, and over 100 video-audit classes
How do patrons access it?
Each library has a unique ID. If you are having trouble with your URL, please open a support ticket through your Overdrive Marketplace account. If your library ONLY uses the Library of Virginia account, you should be able to still open a ticket. Not sure who has access to your marketplace account? It’s probably the person in charge of collections. If you still can’t identify the right person, contact Nan Carmack at nan.carmack@lva.virginia.gov or 804/692-3792
