Tech Triage at the Public Library
 
The Judy B. McDonald Public Library invites the community to a weekly technology help session called Tech Triage, which will be held every Tuesday at 4:00pm. We’ll be in the lobby to help you learn how to use your devices, from mobile phones to smartphones to tablets, laptops or digital cameras.  This is a walk-in workshop for those who have questions about their devices.  Feel free to bring the trouble-making equipment with you! “We’ve found that more and more people simply need to ask a question or two about their devices,” says Crystal Hicks, assistant library director. “While we welcome anyone to drop in at any time, we’ll have someone dedicated to answering those questions on a weekly basis.”
