 Are you a senior? Are you interested in learning basic internet and computer topics, but don’t know where to start? Senior Tech Basics is a free ongoing series of classes held at the Coeur d’Alene Library and the Salvation Army Kroc Center, designed to introduce seniors to various digital topics. This program is held in partnership with the Salvation Army Kroc Center. We will have Chromebook laptops to work with hands-on, which have been made available thanks to a generous grant by the Idaho Commission for Libraries.   

 Are you worried about encountering scams and viruses on the internet, but don’t know what steps you should take to avoid them? Join experts Bill and Kara from Post Falls Computer for a talk on how to avoid different types of scams and what steps you should take for prevention. A question and answer session will follow if time allows. Post Falls Computer has served the North Idaho area since 1991 and offers various computer services to the community.   

 Walk-ins welcome, but registration is required for seniors who’d like to work hands-on with a Chromebook. Only 19 Chromebooks are available to work with.  

 While everyone is always welcome at the Library, this event is intended for adults and the instruction is designed for an adult audience.
