Do you find yourself feeling not-so Tech savvy? Do you get a queasy feeling when you hear people say "texting”? Did technology take off and leave you dusting your 8Track player? You're not alone. We're here to help! Beginning in September, Musser Public Library offers classes for those not raised with today's technology, but interested in understanding and using what the world of Tech Knowledge has to offer. We start beyond the basics and offer programs that are both fun and useful. Topics include library catalog use, cell phone ins and outs, EBay selling, and how to get started in the online social networking scene. Join us as we dive into Tech Knowledge together. All programs are free and open to the public. However, due to space restrictions, registration is required for the EBay class. All classes will take place in the Conference Room unless otherwise noted.
