March kicks off a series of classes at the Delaware Main Library designed specifically for older adults looking brush up on their computer skills. The “Basic Computer Skills for Seniors” classes are taught by the Delaware County District Library IT department, and are created to move at a patient pace for new learners.
The classes take place in the training room, just off the computer area, at the Delaware Main Library. It’s a small classroom that seats just six individuals, which allows for great one-on-one help opportunities, if needed. Interested individuals should call 740-362-3861 to pre-register their seat in the class. Seats are already filling up quickly.
The classes meet on Tuesdays at 9 a.m. and Thursdays at 6 p.m. The series progresses weekly throughout the month from basic computer skills (March 8 and 10) to basic Microsoft skills (March 15 and 17), then finishes with basic Internet skills (March 22 and 24) and basic Facebook and Pinterest skills (March 29 and 31). Call to see what dates are available and reserve your seat today. You’ll be amazed with everything you learn.
