Seniors |
The Glendale Public Library welcomes community Seniors!
Quick Links
The Library received a grant of computers from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 1999. We began training Glendale residents in the use of computers and the Internet that year, and developed an extended class format for Seniors in 2000. To date, over 600 Glendale Seniors have participated in the Computer Club.
Senior workshops are comfortably paced for the novice computer user. Students learn how to use the mouse and keyboard, navigate through Microsoft Windows, search the Internet, and set up and use Email.
