Many of our libraries offer computer training, often in both structured class and one-on-one formats. At these sessions you’ll be given a good overview of the subject, get answers to many of your tech-related questions, and interact with the computer for a hands-on learning experience. Visit our Events Calendar to see a complete list of computer classes coming up. Registration may be required as space is limited.
