You can make an appointment with a member of our staff as an individual or for 2-4 people to learn how to use a new computer,  e-reader, tablet, smartphone, email, The Internet and more at a variety of times throughout each month. This is a free service the library offers! To make an appointment call: 607-936-3713

If you’re not familiar with Dropbox it is a cloud based service that is free to use that offers you 2 GB of free storage to upload any photos or documents to the Dropbox service – and you can then access those photos and documents from anywhere you have an Internet connection on a desktop or laptop computer on a smartphone or a tablet.
Here’s a link to a PDF get-started guide:
And one to a PowerPoint get-started guide:
And if you’d like to know more but are hesitant to attempt to create a free Dropbox account yourself – call the library and make an appointment with Jenn or I for a one-on-one session and we’ll get you set up and show you the basic Dropbox ropes.
You can reach Jenn and I at the library by calling: 607-936-3713
Have a great day!
