Technology marches on, throwing new gadgets and apps at us faster and faster.

Denville Public Library would love to help you keep up.  We can take you from the basics of using a computer all the way to using apps like Word, Excel, Publisher and PowerPoint.

Feel left out when someone says “Hey, did you see those great pictures of my grandkids/dog/new house on Facebook”?  We can help.  Need to do research in online sources or trace your family history?  We’ll show you how.  Want to load audio books or e-books on your phone or tablet?  It’s easier than you think.

Denville Public Library is offering one-on one Tech Connect session to help you with these and lots of other tech issues.

Contact the library at 973-627-6555 or at contact@denvillelibrary.org with the subject line of Tech Connect and we’ll be happy to help.
