Staff at Rowan Public Library are available to help
with any technology questions you may have about your mobile devices such as a
laptop, cell phone, tablet, or e-reader. During operating hours community
members of Rowan County can schedule a 30 minute one on one session called a
Tech Stop to have any questions answered with the help of a library staff
member. These 30 minute sessions are free and available to the public. Tech
Stops have been available since early spring of 2018 and is a great way to learn
about a new cell phone or tablet and ways to interact with the device.
The Information Desk Reference Staff assists the
public daily on computers and tablets and are ready to help with questions or
directions for completing a task on mobile devices. Often, library staff receive questions from
customers needing assistance downloading a mobile app to a device or creating
an online account for a service. Our staff are knowledgeable and can assist
with: basic computing, creating a website or blog, locating and using
e-resources, creating an email, using social media sites, demonstrating ways to
use Microsoft Office, and demonstrating how to navigate Windows or Apple
operating systems.
The library also offers free online Gale Courses that
are available to library cardholders seeking technology assistance with
assigned weekly coursework and activities to help increase their skills and
abilities with Microsoft software, web design, game development, web
development, and Adobe products. Our
library collection has several books available for checkout related to computer
and technology tools including on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Microsoft
Office products, and web development.
Rowan Public Library provides free services for
information seekers and continues to grow its computer and technology services
to the community by offering a monthly technology club, online Gale courses,
and one on one Tech Stop sessions. To learn more about these services contact
your RPL branch for more information.
