Kennebunk Free Library Announces Free Computer Classes—Just the Basics

 

The Kennebunk Free Library is pleased to offer free computer classes to adults: basic email and basic internet searching. These classes will serve as a starting point to greater skills and expertise—it just takes practice!  Once you gain these skills you’ll be on the road to independent computing.

Classes are offered on the first three Wednesdays of January and February at 11AM for one hour. Because the library is closed to the public on Wednesday mornings, the instructor will meet you at the front door five minutes before class begins.  (Please be prompt). There will be independent practice time following the class; you may also sign up to use KFL computers anytime to practice your skills.

These FREE classes require pre-registration for up to 4 participants per lesson. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.  Classes are offered on a first-come, first served basis; sign up for one class at a time, please.

 

Basic email

For people who already have some basic computer skills, this class will help you set up an email account (be sure to come prepared with possible user names and passwords of at least 8 characters long). You will learn how to write, send and receive messages; how to send an attachment (photos, for example), and how to file or delete your mail.

Basic internet use

Learn how to search and navigate the Internet and how to evaluate websites for accuracy. Lots of hands on practice during this course with the instructor available to guide you. Existing mouse skills are a helpful for this class—playing online solitaire will hone those skills. Come  prepared with a topic that you would like to search as a jumping off point.

Call the library at 985-2173 and select Option #4 for more information and to reserve a spot.
