One-On-One Tech Help at the Library

Published on 25 August 2023

The Library is offering free one-on-one tech help sessions on Thursdays and Fridays between 10.30am and 2.30pm until the end of the year.

Community members can book a session with an IT specialist who can help them across many areas where basic IT help might be required, such as the use of phones (both Android and iPhone) and other devices, including as laptops and tablets.

The IT specialist can also provide general tech advice and help with internet banking, emails, how to use government websites, and online applications.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said this was one way the library could best help community members to access information in an increasingly digital world.

“Many core services that are critical, such as government forms, information and services, have moved online, which means that anyone who might struggle with basic IT may find it difficult to access,” said Cr Tehan.

“I encourage community members to book in with the IT specialist at the library for a one-on-one session for any tech guidance.”

The program is funded with $12,912 from the State Government of Victoria’s Digital Literacy for Seniors Program. The funding will also contribute to the purchase of Daisy audiobook players for the vision impaired, iPads and VR (virtual reality) headsets.

Make a booking by calling the Library on 5775 8621. Community members are encouraged to bring their own device.
