If you aren't familiar with free computer classes at the library, then you're missing out on a great bargain. Class sizes are small, (a maximum of eight students per workshop,) and each student has their own computer to use for hands-on exercises.
As you will see further down in this entry, the library offers courses in three primary tracks, but for anyone who is new to computers, we recommend starting with the Computer Basics class. After that, customers are free to choose a track and work their way down the list. They can also move between tracks.
