Computer Class Schedule – SPRING 2008

Tuesdays, in the Library Meeting Room.
Session 1 - 10-11am       Session 2 - 11:15am-12:15pm

To better accommodate increased interest, there will be two sessions each day. Each session will cover similar material so pick one time slot per day. The skills taught in these classes are meant to build on one another so that when taken in succession the student will have a solid basis on which to further explore computers. Although the classes are meant to be taken in series, students may sign up for any class that meets their needs. Class size is limited so registration is required. Sign up sheets are located at the Reference Desk. Note: library loaned laptops will be unavailable for regular checkout at these times.
