Computers Basics is a free, two-hour workshop designed to help beginners build confidence using technology. Participants will learn how to navigate operating systems, manage files, format documents, search the internet, and protect their personal privacy online. This class takes place in the Side 1 Meeting Room at the Stanford L. Warren Branch Library in Durham. It is best suited for adults and teens who need a refresher on digital essentials, and there is no cost to attend. You do need to register in advance by calling 919-293-1133 or signing up online, and you may want to bring a notebook to jot down tips on password security and document formatting. Taking time on a Thursday morning to master these digital tools can make managing school portals, organizing family budgets, and helping kids with homework much easier.
