The Deschutes Public Library begins its Winter/Spring Series of free, hands-on computer classes for adults in January. The formal classes offered at the Downtown Bend, Redmond, Sisters, and Sunriver libraries introduce users to computers, email, and the Internet. Attendees can explore word-processing and spreadsheet software, learn how to effectively search the Internet, and become expert at accessing and using email. There are also classes on Digital Books, Craigslist, and Facebook.
A complete schedule of Winter/Spring classes is available now at your local library. Classes are free and class size is limited, so the library urges those who are interested to make their reservations as soon as possible. Sign up online at www.deschuteslibrary.org or in person at the Reference Desk of your local Library or call to make reservations at 617-7050.
