Cessnock City Library is excited to be hosting two free outreach events during Get Online Week (16 – 22 October), a national digital inclusion campaign that aims to close the technological divide.
Library Services Co-ordinator Rose-marie Walters said Cessnock City Library is committed to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate in our digital world, regardless of their background or circumstances.
“We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to safely participate in our digital world and no one should be left behind,” said Ms Walters.
“Get Online Week is a great opportunity for people to learn new skills and connect with their community.
“These two outreach events in Branxton and Wollombi are a great way to help community members learn the skills they need to be digitally included. We encourage everyone to come along and join us.”
The Get Online Week community events will be held on:
- Wednesday, 18 October from 11am to 1pm at Wollombi Community Hall
- Thursday, 19 October from 11am to 1pm at Branxton Community Hall
The events will be led by Harry Kavadas from Seniors Tech and Tea, who will provide participants with fun, informative, and hands-on sessions covering a range of topics to help them feel more comfortable online. The sessions will also include a morning tea.
Bookings are essential. To book, please visit the Cessnock City Library website
