- read and send emails
- use the internet safely and confidently
Contact your local library and ask for an introductory computer session. Staff will arrange a time convenient for you and one of our volunteers to have the sessions.
Using a tablet or iPad
We also offer oen to one iPad and Samsung tablet workshops for people that are interested in learning more about how to use these devices.
Ask at your local library for details.
Practice your computer skills
If you already have some experience using computers, come and practice your skills on the PCs available in every library free of charge.
All libraries offer internet access and use of Microsoft Office and Libre Office.
Scanning is free and there is a small charge for printing.
You'll need a library card to use the computers. It's free to obtain a library card, just pop into your local library or join the library online.
If you want to guarantee use of a computer at a certain time, it is better to reserve a computer in advance.
