Putney Cares offers free computer classes for Putney area seniors

PUTNEY — Putney Cares and Landmark College will co-present a special four-class series of workshops hosted by the Putney Public Library to help Putney area seniors navigate the myriad of electronic devices, social media and the internet.

“Tablets, Computers & Smart Phones, Oh My!” will be held on four consecutive Thursday mornings, beginning on March 26, at the Putney Library at 55 Main St., and will provide both small group and one-on-one instruction to help seniors with computers or with an electronic device they may want to bring.

The classes will also offer assistance with a wide range of topics, including using a browser, using electronic calendars and other organizational tools, how to conduct research online, how to avoid bad places and scams online, how to deal with error messages, how to use email programs, how to use social media sites, and how to navigate the web safely.

The classes are free and open to any Putney area senior, but space is limited, so reservations are required to attend any of the classes. Please RSVP by calling Mimi Yahn at 802-579-6329.
