- web browsing and websites
- installing and using apps
- making sense of your operating system (Windows 10, Android and iOS)
- new and emerging technology.

Our Library volunteers are regularly on hand to help you with your technology questions and to help you discover ways of using technology for learning, entertainment and staying connected.
