We will be offering a two-part beginner’s computer class titled Computer Basics. Part one, Mastering the Mouse, will provide an overview of the components of a computer and computer terminology, and an introduction to working with Windows.
Part two, Introduction to the Internet, will allow users to navigate a web browser, to find information online, and to effectively use the Briggs Public Library website. The class will be offered over two weeks – part one on January 18th, and part two on January 25th. Both sessions will start at 9am and last approximately one hour. Registration for this free class is required, and opens December 21st.
