Come join a supportive group environment for self-paced digital skills courses. We'll be using Northstar Digital Literacy, a free online resource available to all Durham County Library patrons. A library staff member will be present to get you set up and answer questions as each participant moves through online modules on their own at their own pace. Northstar allows you to track your learning progress and earn badges or certificates for completing a course. Our computer lab has a limited number of laptops for use, so bringing your own laptop is encouraged.

Registration is not required, but is helpful for library staff.

Computer and digital skills topics include:

• Phone Keyboard Basics & Logging In
• Basic Computer Skills
• Internet Basics
• Using Email
• Windows 10 & 11
• Mac OS
• Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
• Google Docs
• Social Media
• Information Literacy
• Career Search Skills
• Your Digital Footprint
• Accessing Telehealth Appointments
• Cybersecurity Basics

These classes are self-paced and each week participants will choose which lessons they want to complete on their own. You do not need to have come to any of the previous weeks to attend this one!
