OSWEGO – Erin Lohnas will be returning from traveling on November 18, so classes and lab times will resume on that date under her tutelage at the Oswego Public Library.
Four brand new workshops will be offered in the month of December:
? Using and Opening PDF Files – This will provide an overview of how people can manage PDF files that they have received or that they have scanned.
? Dealing with Common Phone Issues – This class will cover various issues and changes that people often run into, i.e. uninstalling and removing apps, downloading apps, managing the amount of space on their phones, updating and so forth.
? Navigating the New NCLS App – The NCLS App was recently updated to a new version, so this class will cover where everything is located and allow patrons to ask questions about it.
? An Overview of Compressed Files and Phone Files – This workshop will help people learn how to compress files and decompress them, as they are often sent in that format to save on space. There will also be an overview on how phone files can be transferred from their device to a computer for printing.
