Putney, Vermont —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. Back by popular demand, “Tablets, Computers & Smart Phones, Oh My!”
will be held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings — October 22, October 27, October
29, and November 3 — at the Putney Library at 55 Main Street.
The classes will provide one-on-one instruction to help seniors with computers or
with an electronic device they may want to bring. Each of the four classes will 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 Friday,
October 16, by stopping by the library or calling Emily Zervas, the Putney Library
Director, at (802) 387-4407.
