If you’re looking for some help to make the transition to digital books, or just need a refresher in computing, Sno-Isle Libraries are offering a variety of classes for adults during the coming weeks that could be helpful.
The classes cover several digital topics, including how to search for and browse the library’s vast digital collection. Just like printed books, digital books can be checked out.
“Learn to use your Kindle” will teach people how to set a digital library account and download books. A class called “gadget coaching” brings in knowledgeable teenagers to share their expertise in the latest technologies.
Advance registration is required except where noted. Learn more at www.sno-isle.org.
