Drop-In Computer Help

Computer help in a calm Rockridge setting

If your email is acting up, your resume needs a fresh start, or you just want a little help finding your way around the internet, the Rockridge Branch of Oakland Public Library has a useful Saturday morning option.

On August 15, from 10 am to noon, volunteer computer tutors will be at the library computer lab at 5366 College Ave. The Rockridge Branch has that familiar neighborhood library feel, quiet tables, helpful staff, and the steady College Avenue rhythm right outside the door.

This is a library help session, so the performers are really the volunteer tutors. They are there to help with basic computer tasks like setting up an email account, searching job listings, making a resume, browsing the web, and sorting out small tech questions that can slow down your day.

It is a good fit if you want patient help without a big class setting. Bring your question, take your time, and use your library computer hour well.

Volunteer schedules can change, so it is smart to call the branch before you go. You can also check the event listing for details and accessibility information.
