Residents looking for help with laptops, tablets or smartphones can book a free slot at Cheltenham Library this Friday afternoon. The Computer Buddy session runs from 2:30pm to 4:30pm on 3 July and offers one-to-one support on using digital devices and accessing online services.
Appointments are essential and can be secured by phoning 01242 532686 or speaking to library staff in person at the Clarence Street building. Trained staff and volunteers provide guidance on topics from basic computer skills to smartphone navigation, though they will not complete forms or tasks on a user’s behalf. Gloucestershire Libraries states the service welcomes everyone regardless of background, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion or sexual orientation.
The Computer Buddy programme has been running across the county, with regular sessions also held in Gloucester, Bishops Cleeve, Dursley, Newent and Quedgeley. The same Cheltenham branch will host an Apple Devices session on Monday 6 July from 10am to midday. More broadly, the library offers free computer access with membership, along with digital collections of eBooks, eAudiobooks and eMagazines.
