Q: Do you offer computer classes?

If you'd prefer to learn from home, the Johnson County Library also offers online computer classes on almost every tech topic imaginable. Do you want to learn Excel? Outlook? Word? How about learning how to sell things on Ebay, create a Facebook page or set up a Twitter account? Maybe you just got a MacBook and need some essential training on Mac's operating system. Do you want to learn Blender, Photoshop, or Quickbooks? The list goes on and on! 

These online classes are free and you can access them with your library card and PIN from our eLearning page. If you are a beginner the best place to start is GCFLearnFree.org. If you want to take a traditional online class complete with an instructor, homework and tests, check out the computer classes offered through Universal ClassLearning Express is another resource providing video instruction that make you feel like you are in the classroom.

What are the advantages of studying online? Convenience! Take a class over your lunch hour  in the evening after the kids are in bed, or on the weekends. There's no need to commute somewhere, hunt for a parking spot and schlep your way to class in all kinds of weather. Did I mention the classes are free? What do you have to lose?

Remember, it takes time and effort to become proficient on the computer. Keep practicing and you'll get there! Our librarians are happy to show you how to access our eLearning resources.

There are also other services in the metro area that offer computer instruction. Please contact them directly for detailed information including cost, registration, dates and times.

 Good luck, & happy learning!!
