I know that a lot of you have been patiently waiting, counting the days until our computer classes start again. Today, your countdown reached zero.

Registration opens today for the first class in our fall lineup—Facebook: Getting Started. The class will be run from 7-8:30 PM on Wednesday, September 7th, and will be held in the computer lab on the first floor.

Here’s a look at the rest of the classes we’ll be offering this fall:

Thursday, 9/29: Excel I

All classes are held in the first floor computer lab. They begin at 7 PM and end around 8:30 PM. Registration is required for each class, and will open two weeks in advance. Space is limited, so remember to register early! Also, as a courtesy to other patrons, if you are registered for a class, but cannot attend, please contact us so we may open that space for someone else to attend. We’re excited to see you all back!

With Great Temperatures Come Great Opportunities

by Jake Gauslow

OK, stop me if you’ve heard this one. Summer is here—oh, you knew already? Well, how about this one?

With great temperatures come great opportunities. In addition to our Summer Reading Program, we’re also about to begin a new round of computer classes, absolutely free! We’ll kick them off tonight at 7 o’clock with Microsoft Word I, an intro to the basics of word processing using this program. Here’s what the rest of the summer looks like:

June 15: Googling Smart – Searching the Internet

June 22: Microsoft Word II

July 6: Microsoft Excel I

July 20: Mail Merge (using Excel and Word together!)

Each of these dates is a Wednesday, and all of the classes start at 7PM. You’ll need to register beforehand, as space is limited. The registration form will ask you for your email address, but if you don’t have one, you can still register by calling the library at 972-292-5669.

If these classes aren’t enough for you, or if you just want to learn more about how computers or the Internet work, we’ve also put together some basic information to help you get started, including links to several online tutorials. We look forward to seeing you!
