“Help, my family bought me an iPad!” While our families are likely well-meaning, receiving a new device can fill some people with dread. iPads, smart phones, laptops, etc. can all feel daunting to those who have never used them before! (And there’s no shame in that.) That’s why we’re offering drop-in one-on-one tech help with our Reference Librarian right after the holidays. Bring your new device to get help setting it up for the first time or get a rundown on how to use it. We practice no judgement – only kindness. No registration required.
