Digital Services

Digital literacy is an important part of lifelong learning. So we offer a variety of digital services, programmes, and resources to improve digital literacy in our community. From in-person digital skills classes to online learning resources – the library can help you learn and understand the digital space in a manner that you feel comfortable with.
