From WOOD COUNTY DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY
Two workshops in January at the Wood County District Public Library (251 N. Main St., Bowling Green) will help demystify your tablets, smart phones, and other devices as well as get you ready to borrow free digital content.
Kristin Wetzel, who works closely with the library’s digital content providers, will lead both workshops. The first is Wednesday, January 17 at 10 a.m. and the second workshop is Monday, January 29 at 6:30 p.m. Both workshops will take place in the second floor meeting room. “We are offering the workshop at two times so people who are not available during the day can also take advantage of the training and get the most from their devices” said Wetzel.
“There is so much wonderful, free material to download from your library,” said Wetzel. “I have helped people who came straight to the library from the store with their devices still in a box. When they leave the library they are ready to read, listen, or watch whatever they like,” she said. Reservations are not required to attend the workshops.
Additional personalized help with your technology and computer questions is available Monday through Friday by appointment. To take advantage of this service, simply call ahead to 419-352-5050 for an appointment with library staff.
“We have been asked when the next class on using computers will be offered, but we have found that computer classes leave a lot of people in the dark because the class doesn’t relate to people’s specific needs,” said Michele Raine, Assistant Director at WCDPL. “The appointments allow us to focus on exactly what people would like to learn during their appointment.”
Appointments can cover everything from how to format a Microsoft Word document, how to set up basic commands in an Excel spreadsheet, or how to create contacts in your smart phone.
For more information on either the workshops or the personal assistance appointments, contact WCDPL’s Information Services Department at 419-352-5050.
