Basic computer classes are scheduled to be delivered free-of-charge at libraries in the
Library Broadband Builds Nebraska Communities project. These sessions are offered by some of Nebraska’s Community Colleges. see the
calendar on the Library Broadband Builds Nebraska Communities blog for details. Libraries are invited to consider sending library staff to these sessions, if it is nearby. The sessions are intended for library customers, but library staff could gain skills and information to help serve library patrons and answer their questions about using public computer resources. The training is made possible by the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program and funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The following sessions are a sample of what will be provided by Central Community College for the library customers in their area.

I’m very interested in taking a few of these courses. Are all the courses free or do you pay for certain ones? Also do you sign up ahead of time or do you just show up? I’m new to the area so this would be nice to help me get a job. Please help!! Thank-you!!!
Sincerely,
Laurie Barker
Hi Laurie. All the courses are free. It would be great if you could give the library a call and tell them you are coming. We don’t want them to cancel the class–a call would help them know there is interest. Thanks, Mary Jo Ryan
