Technology Instruction Available
Florham Park Public Library
The Florham Park Public Library was recently awarded a grant administered by the New Jersey State Library and Institute of Museum and Library Services to establish itself as a node in a statewide network of information centers that provide high-quality, standardized, digital literacy instruction and one-on-one help to anyone who needs it. The program is optimal for job seekers, senior citizens, people re-entering the workforce after a hiatus, those pursuing a GED, and individuals who wish to improve their technology skills or workforce readiness.
As a part of the program, the Florham Park Public Library is offering 1-on-1 technology help by appointment on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. During 1-on-1 help, a trained and qualified Digital Literacy Instructor can help people to troubleshoot a personal device, navigate an online job application, learn how to accomplish specific tasks online or with a device, or connect with relevant online or educational resources, among many other requests. We can also proctor exams.
The Library is also offering weekly technology instruction classes covering a variety of practical topics. Upcoming classes include: Getting Started with LinkedIn, Microsoft Word 101, Google Docs 101, Internet Basics, Building a Resume, and Writing Your Cover Letter. Anyone interested in signing up for classes or 1-on-1 help should visit the Library’s event calendar at florhamparklib.org/events, or call the Library at (973) 377-2694.
1-on-1 tech help and technology literacy classes are open to all, and are not limited to Florham Park residents. All Library programs and services are offered free of charge.
