Computer confusion?

Computers are wonderful things and, when you can get your head around them, you will see why they have made such a tremendous impact on society and culture. They make so many more things possible and will save you time when you can avoid the pitfalls that come with technological confusion.

Join Kathy at Lomas Tramway Library for one-on-one TLC about your computer questions. 

Please sign up at the information desk or call 291-6295.  Please state the problem you wish to get help with, your phone number, and your preferred date.  Please bring your library card with you.
