If you would like to learn more about computers and the internet, you could sign up for one of our free basic IT learning sessions. There are computers for you to use in all our libraries with access to the internet and Office 2010.
If you do not want your child to have internet access please speak to a member of staff. You will be helping individuals or small groups of learners to improve their IT skills, ranging from complete beginners to more advanced levels. You may be doing this alone, with a member of staff, or with another volunteer. You can book a session for up to three hours at a time. If you need longer, please speak to a member of staff.
