The Portage Lake District Library and students from the Computer Science Department at Michigan Tech will provide free computer help for adults throughout the summer. These computer help sessions with individual tutors will be held every Saturday from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. at the library beginning now through August.
“Online at the Library: Computer Help for Adults” will show participants how to use the internet to keep in touch with people, share pictures and letters, find information, solve computer problems, and much more. Tutors will help each participant with their own particular needs. People may attend as many of the sessions as they wish, and those who have laptops may bring them.
Library programs are free and everyone is welcome. For more information, please call the library at 482-4570 or visit the library at www.pldl.org.
Online at the Library helps bridge technological gaps
“It is really important to have these tutoring sessions because you always attempt to try and bridge that technological gap between the youth and the elderly” said Keith Atkinson, Michigan Tech sophomore and tutor. “Not everyone that comes in here is elderly though; some people just come and have a computer question. It is really important to bridge that gap.”
