Seniors' basic digital device skills

In February and March, SoS Digital Support will work with the Bega Valley Shire Library to conduct a series of digital beginner courses at their Bega and Tura Beach locations. We'll walk you through the basics of using a laptop, tablet, or smartphone go through the fundamentals of browsing the internet.

SoS President Julie Novotny encourages Bega Valley residents who want to make the transition into the digital world to attend these workshops. She feels that the library is one of the best place for beginners to learn the fundamentals of using a digital device at their own pace.

Numbers will be limited for each session due to the probable need for 1-on-1 support, giving us the time to support attendees. Make sure to make your reservation as soon as possible to ensure that you don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity.
