As a reminder, the library will be offering some computer classes starting next week. The first is called Computer Basics. It will teach those attending basic terms, the parts of the computer, and how it works. It will allow attendees to practice using the mouse and keyboard. The class will be held on Monday, May 16, from 5-6 p.m. It will be offered again on Thursday, May 19, from 10-11 a.m. A second class will be held on Internet Basics, teaching attendees to become familiar with using a web browser to view information on the internet. It will also teach how to use search engines such as Google. The only prerequisite for taking the class is to be familiar with a mouse and keyboard. The classes will be held on Monday, May 23, from 5-6 p.m., and again on Thursday, May 26, from 10-11 a.m. Classes are 30 minutes of instruction and 30 minutes of hands-on practice. No registration is necessary, but the class is limited to a maximum of 10 people.
If you know of a summer camp or program in Union County who would be interested in receiving free books, activities, and prizes, contact Raven Miller, the Programs and Outreach Librarian, by emailing rmiller@unionlibrary.org by May 31. Limited supplies are available and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
