Bridge of Allan Library IT Drop In Sessions
Would you like to… Shop around for best value? Stay in touch with friends and family? Learn something new? Have free access to PCs and Wi-Fi and use social media? Why not come along to one of our I.T. & ME sessions and discover what I.T. can do for you!
I.T. & ME drop in sessions take place in Stirling Council Libraries to help solve basic IT problems and learn new digital skills. It is completely free to take part and you don’t need to learn everything at once. You can take small steps and learn at your own pace in a relaxed atmosphere. Digital devices such as PCs, tablets and smart phones are changing the way people access information, keep in touch with one another and learn new things. Depending on your interests, hobbies and what you use your computer for, I.T. & ME can do something for you.
For your local I.T. & ME session please contact Bridge of Alan Library, sessions run on a Friday from 14:00 – 16:00
To find out more about IT & ME sessions with Stirling Council Libraries or to find out about becoming an I.T. & ME volunteer please contact: Heather Walsh, Digital Volunteer Coordinator, email walshh@stirling.gov.uk or tel: 01786 237542
