From October 15th to 18th, the libraries will host a series of events to celebrate Get Online Week.

Suitable for all ages, the events are designed to give people the opportunity to have a go with emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR). Come and have a go at using a 3D printer or play with our Sphero robots.

Members of our community will be able to have their tech and digital questions answered in a one-on-one 10-minute consultation with our Digital Mentors.

And the week closes with an important workshop to learn more about scams and how to stay safe online.
