Computer Lessons for All!

Libraries aren’t just about books. They are about information.


Today, there is a lot of information that is available digitally – either on your own computer or accessible via the world wide web. (Well, of course, you know that…you are reading this there, aren’t you?!)


Many people have taken their first steps on the information highway here at the Callander Public Library.


We are fortunate to offer individual computer lessons on a regular basis at the library so that anyone can improve their computer skills.


Have you ever wondered how to get rid of those red eyes on your digital photo? Perhaps you are the volunteer treasurer for your sports league and want to use an Excel spreadsheet to help balance the books. Maybe you want your kids to know how to be safe when sharing information on the Internet.


Brent is here as our CAP student until the end of April. He is available to help with all kinds of questions from beginner to advanced users. Miranda is offering sessions for children on a Saturday morning. Please contact us at the library to enquire about these opportunities.


In addition, we are offering a series of 4 computer education workshops on Monday evenings from 6.00pm for 2 hours. These sessions will deal with Computer Basics, Internet for Beginners, Photo Fun and Advanced Internet. Classes will start on 24th January, but you do need to pre register.


If you have ever said to yourself, “I really should learn a bit more about computers”, now is the time!
