The Silver City Public Library has announced regularly-occurring free technology learning opportunities from January through April 2019, offered in partnership with other community organizations.
There will be an open lab for practice, questions, and troubleshooting on Friday, January 18, 2:00-4:00pm. Community members may drop in at any time. Participants can use library-provided laptops and tablets to practice their skills and become familiar with different devices. Knowledgeable library staff and volunteers will be available to answer questions. Participants can also bring their own laptops or mobile devices for troubleshooting help. This is a great opportunity to learn more about how to use a new device!
