It seems that everyone is going
online these days – for e-mail, sharing photos, shopping, researching,
getting news, even for socializing. If you would you like to explore
the Internet but you’re not quite sure how to get started, if you are
frustrated with trying to search, or especially if you are worried
about online safety issues, check out “Internet Essentials” – a series
of six free lessons offered this fall by the Paris-Bourbon County
Public Library.
The six-lesson series begins with
an overview of personal computers and Windows, then covers online
navigation and searching, e-mail accounts and ‘safe computing’
practices. There is no charge to attend, but seats are limited so
advance registration is required. Morning sessions (10am-noon) are
offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9/25 – 10/11. Afternoon sessions
(2-4pm) are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10/15 – 11/8.
To register, contact Mona Proctor,
Library Technology Manager, (859-987-4419, ext. 107). Sign up with a
friend and double the fun! Pick up a flyer with more details at the
library any time.
