Helping people get online

Do you know someone who has never been online who might like to find out what it's all about?

As part of a national Be Online campaign South Glos Council is encouraging residents into their local library to make the most of using the internet between now and 8th March.

Thanks to a grant of £9,000 from the Tinder Foundation the council has trained more than 40 staff and volunteers to run IT sessions in libraries and other community centres across South Gloucestershire to encourage others to get online and improve their digital literacy and IT skills.

Throughout Be Online fortnight libraries are offering taster sessions on how to make the most out of library digital resources including e-books and e-magazines. For details on all the free drop-in sessions visit www.southglos.gov.uk/beonline
