Library to Offer PC, Word, Excel Classes

If your PC frightens you, or if you just want to know how to use your software a little bit better, Sierra Madre Library's new computer classes may be right up your alley.

Press Release:

If you’ve wanted to take computer classes, but have avoided them because you thought they’d be boring or full of incomprehensible “techno-babble," then the “MY PC” series is for you!

staff members Jill Schofield and Gerard Brane will be teaching this hands-on, fun and user-friendly series of 10 one-hour classes on Wednesdays at 10 a.m., beginning Jan. 25.

These practical, jargon-free and comfortably paced classes will focus on how to make the most of your Windows 7 computer and will include topics such as: “Start Here with Windows 7,” “Digital Camera Tips and Tricks,” “Share your Digital Photos” and “Stay Safe with Windows 7.” 

There is no obligation to take the whole 10-part series; you can sign up for one, a few or all of the classes.  Being intimidated by your computer will be a thing of the past once you’ve experienced “MY PC!”
