Learn Computers, Take a Class!
I had an older gentleman approach the Reference Desk the other day asking what resources we offer at the library that could help him to learn how to use computers. I told him about our Computer Training courses that are offered at the Valentine House on Tuesdays from 10:00-11:45. I explained that these classes are $10.00, and are for beginner computer students -- exactly what he was looking for! It is a very gentle class with only 4 students maximum, at a time. There is also a follow-up class on using email that is taught at the same time on Thursdays. After you've taken these classes, the trick is to practice, practice, practice! So, we have two teachers who volunteer to work with Roslyn residents who want to learn. As a Roslyn resident, you are entitled to sit in the library with one of our volunteers three times for about one hour to work at your own pace, ask questions and learn -- for free! The volunteers are here on Tuesday evenings from 7:15 - 8:15 and on Wednesdays and Fridays, from 11:15-12:00 and 12:15 - 1:00.
If you are new to computers and would like to learn more, please make an appointment to take one of our classes. Put an end to the frustration of not knowing how and become the one in the know! It is the greatest gift you can give to yourself. The gentleman that met me at the Desk the other day, signed up for the class and was thrilled! He was excited to finally catch up with his 95 year old mother, who is dying to email him!
