Library offers free technology tutoring

PORT ANGELES — The public libraries of the North Olympic Library System have hundreds of eBooks, eAudiobooks, movies and music for patrons to experience on their tablets, mobile devices or home computers.

But do you know how to access the free digital resources?

If not, library system experts are offering free, 30-minute appointments for hands-on, one-on-one technology tutoring.

The sessions will take place at the Port Angeles Library at 2210 S. Peabody St., by appointment only.

To schedule a TechKnowLogy appointment, send an email to Discover@nols.org, stating the day and time you’d like to reserve, as well as what kind of device you’re using.

On the day of your appointment, bring your device and questions to the Port Angeles Library for personal instruction in how to download eBooks and eAudiobooks, or stream television shows, music and movies with services such as Washington Anytime Library and Hoopla.

Experts will help you navigate your Kindle, Nook, Android tablet or smartphone, Apple device, laptop, or MP3 player.

If you’re considering whether to purchase an eReader or similar gadget, TechKnowLogy tutors can help you find information about which one will best suit your needs.

The North Olympic Library System oversees public libraries in Port Angeles, Sequim, Forks and Clallam Bay.

For more information, call Port Angeles Library at 360-417-8500 or visit www.nols.org.
