Suffering from Cyberphobia?

Do you suffer from cyberphobia? Hastings Public Library has the cure!

Beginning April 27th the Hastings Public Library will begin a series of computer classes aimed at those just beginning to master computer skills. These beginning classes, which will be held throughout the spring, will focus on Word (Microsoft’s word processing software), E-mail skills, and Excel (Microsoft’s spreadsheet software for calculations).

The first set of classes will be aimed at those wanting to learn Word and will cover basic formatting skills for letters and reports. All of the classes will be held in the library’s Community Room and each participant will be assigned a laptop computer to use during the class.

One set of classes will be held on Mondays at 2:00 p.m. for three weeks: April 27th, May 4th and May 11th.

Another set of classes will take place on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. (April 29th, May 6th, and May 13th).

A final set of classes will be held on Fridays from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. (May 1st, May 15th and May 22nd).

The class is limited to six; but a minimum of three must register for the class to be held. Registrants will be able to sign up for further classes in Word at the last session. Call the Hastings Public Library to register (945-4263) or sign up at the library today.
