Digital Literacy Month

We are celebrating digital literacy this month at the Community Library Network.  Most of our digital literacy aimed programs are monthly and recurring though because we recognize how important it is to be able to navigate our increasingly digital world--from connecting speakers to blue tooth, figuring out how to program "smart" appliances, and recognizing scams, disinformation, and bias in online information...we have programs to help.
 
Join us at Hayden or Pinehurst for frequent tech help sessions where you can drop in and get one-on-one help to specific tech needs.  Attend Library 101 at Rathdrum and dig into the databases and tech that the library offers and Get Started with 3D Printing with a monthly introductory class.
