Drop-In Computer Help

Need a little computer help in Rockridge?

On Saturday, October 3, from 10:00 AM to noon, the Rockridge Branch of the Oakland Public Library is hosting Drop In Computer Help for folks who want some patient, practical support.

This is the kind of library morning that feels very Oakland in the best way. Quiet tables, steady computer lab energy, neighbors getting things done, and volunteers sitting nearby to help when a screen starts acting confusing.

The people guiding the session are volunteer computer tutors, and they can help with everyday tasks like setting up an email account, building a resume, searching job listings, browsing the web, or figuring out a basic tech question that has been sitting on your list too long.

There are no performers here in the stage sense. The main cast is you, the library staff, and the volunteers who know how to explain things without making it weird.

Go if you have a small computer task that keeps turning into a big one. Go if you are helping a family member get online. Go if you just want a calm place to ask questions and leave with something finished.

Volunteer schedules can shift, so it is a good idea to call the branch before heading over. You can also ask the library about accessibility details when you check in.

Volunteer computer tutors are available to help you with basic tasks during your daily hour in the library computer lab. They can help you set up an e-mail account, make a resume, search job listings, internet surfing and more.
Volunteer schedules can change frequently so feel free to call the library to verify that the computer tutor is here.
