The library offers free technology assistance from our on-site Digital Literacy Trainer. Our trainer can help you learn a new skill or assist with a problem and troubleshoot what the issue is. One-on-one appointments can be scheduled or just drop in and ask for assistance. Contact our trainer by phone at 419-864-8181 ext. 104, or stop by the library.
This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the State Library of Ohio.
