SPRING ONLINE at Halton Libaries

Spring Online (16 – 20 May 2011) aims to get older people using computers and the internet. The week will end on Friday 20 May with Digital Unite’s annual Silver Surfers’ Day – now in it’s 10th year.

One in five people in the UK aged 55 – 64 have never used the internet, rising to three in five of those aged 65+. Often, the main barriers for older people are lack of confidence and understanding. All they need is someone to get them started, show them the basics, and make it fun! That’s why Halton libraries are holding 6 beginner sessions throughout the week, to introduce everyone to the internet basics. The events are free and can be booked on by contacting either Widnes library on 0151 907 8383 or Halton Lea library on 01928 704455.
