Library Offers Free Computer Training Classes

The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., is taking registration for its next series of Introductory Computer classes. The library offers free, six-week training classes that cover Computer Basics, Internet Basics, Internet Searching, Email Basics, Word 2007, and Excel 2007. Classes meet once a week for two hours in the Library's computer lab. Classes are limited to 7 students, so registration is required. To reserve a spot in the free program, or for more information, contact the Library at 262.636.9217.

Three six-week sessions are being offered. Participants may register for one of the following programs:
Tuesdays, March 30-May4 from 9:30-11:30 am
Tuesdays, May 25-June 29 from 5:30-7:30 pm
Wednesdays, March 31-May 5 from 9:30-11:30 am

Classes are taught by a reference librarian and other library staff from the Adult Services Department and are open to people of all ages. No previous computer experience is necessary. These hands-on workshops use computers obtained through grants provided by the Racine Community Foundation, the Colonel L.C. Christensen Charitable and Religious Foundation, and the Friends of the Racine Public Library.
