SHEPPARTON Library is not only a hub for those who love a good book and a chance to connect with one’s community.
Every Tuesday, they host invaluable ‘Ready, Tech, Go’ sessions at 10.30am. They also offer ‘Tech 000’ by appointment, where a staff member will provide one-on-one tech help to those in need.
It can be tricky to navigate the digital landscape even for those who use computers daily, for example, filling out online forms can be confusing at the best of times. These free sessions can help people tackle daunting tasks and improve attendees’ general digital literacy.
While all library staff are happy to offer basic, brief assistance, Peter Gillson is the man to see on Thursdays for extended, pre-arranged tech help.
“If you don’t succeed, try and try again, and if you’re still stuck, I’m here to help,” said Peter.
Your library membership also grants access to an online computer and technology-based training centre, ComputerSchool. Touted as the “world’s largest online technology training website,” with more than 10,000 lessons and tutorials available, it is accessible to library members through the GVL website gvlibraries.com.au.
Mooroopna and Cobram library also offer these sessions by appointment, with participants able to book in by contacting individual branches. For further information, please visit the ‘events’ tab at gvlibraries.com.au or call 1300 374 765. Shepparton Library is located at 41 Marungi St, next to the Riverlinks and Council offices.
