This class is not designed to be able to help people who need help in maintaining their Windows Operating System, or who currently have any other "technical" problems on their home computer. The goal of this class is to help those patrons who may be intimidated by getting started on a computer, and that this will allow them to start using the computer resources here at the library. Our recent Universal Classes purchase has offerings to help with Microsoft programs such as Word (see top of page).
