The Fall schedule for computer classes at the Niagara Falls Public Library is now available and registrations can be made. We offer a variety of sessions which are geared to the beginner user. Class size is limited to a maximum of 6, minimum of 3 and each participant will have their own workstation. If a minimum of 3 registrations is not received you will receive 48 hours notice of cancellation. Each class costs $10 and payment must be made in advance.
Computer Basics will start right at the very beginning! From turning it on to learning how to use a mouse, all beginners should start with this class.
Word Processing will teach you how to compose a simple letter on a computer, how to make it look good and much more.
Introduction to the Internet will give you an overview of the web and all its components. You will learn how to perform simple searches using a search engine. Hmmmm, I hear you asking “what exactly is a search engine?”, well, you will learn all about that also.
Have you ever marveled, at how at ease your grand children are using a computer? Introduction to Email will show you how to set up a free email account, how to compose emails and how to set up an address book. Keeping in touch with your grandkids will become instantly easier!
For anyone wishing to take it up a notch from the beginner level, we do offer intermediate classes, Windows 2, Word Processing 2 and Excel.
All classes take place in our fully equipped Computer Training Lab at the Victoria Avenue location and are held on Monday and Tuesday evenings from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. Visit any of our four locations and our staff will gladly help you choose the session that is right for you.
One class that we do not offer is typing. If you have no skill in this area then I would recommend borrowing the CDROM “Mavis Beacon teaches typing” from our collection.
The next Philospher's Cafe will take place on Monday August 10 at 7pm and the theme of this month's discussion is “What is music?” Participants are encouraged to think beyond traditional dialogue – other forms of artistic expression related to music are welcome. Our moderator is jim agar.
Tuesday August 11, the La Marsh Room once again will be the venue for the Niagara Falls Horticultural Society's annual Flower and Vegetable Show. The show is open to the public after 4pm.
