Computer Classes

Take a free introductory class in our computer classroom.
Participate in a hands-on Microsoft Office introductory class and get started with word processing (Word), designing flyers and newsletters (Publisher), creating slideshows (PowerPoint), or using spreadsheets (Excel). Explore Internet-based computer applications at classes like Editing Digital Photos, Google Apps, and Facebook 101.

Computer class offerings vary each month. All classes are free, but space is very limited, so registration is required. Check our calendar of events or subscribe to our monthly e-mail newsletter to find out about upcoming classes.
