The Digital Mentor Sessions offer a friendly and supportive environment for community members eager to improve their digital skills. Whether you're a beginner or just need a refresher, these sessions provide personalized guidance to help you navigate everyday technology with confidence.
During these one-on-one sessions, friendly mentors will assist you with a variety of common technology topics. You can expect relaxed, patient support tailored to your individual needs, whether it’s learning to use email, managing apps, or exploring social media.
The sessions cover a broad range of subjects including using smartphones and tablets, creating and saving documents, video calling, online forms, and accessing digital media like eBooks and eMagazines. Each session is designed to empower you to use technology more effectively in your daily life.
Sessions are held multiple times a week at various Lake Macquarie library locations, including Speers Point, Sugar Valley, Swansea, Charlestown, Windale, Belmont, Cardiff, and Morisset. Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes, providing ample time for personalized assistance.
You can book a session by phone at 4921 0400. The program runs regularly with sessions available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, accommodating a variety of schedules.
The sessions take place at several convenient library locations across Lake Macquarie, making it easy to find a venue near you. Libraries are accessible by public transport and provide a welcoming atmosphere for learners of all ages.
Whether you prefer the Speers Point Library or the Charlestown Library, each venue offers a quiet space ideal for focused learning. Parking and accessibility options are available at all locations.
These sessions are free of charge and open to all community members, including seniors and beginners. It’s recommended to book in advance due to limited spots.
Bring your own device if you have one, such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, to get the most out of your session. If you don’t have a device, mentors can still guide you through the basics.
The sessions are designed to be patient and supportive, perfect for those who may feel intimidated by technology or want to build confidence in a friendly setting.
Booking is essential and can be done by calling 4921 0400. Sessions are free, making this an accessible opportunity for everyone in the community to enhance their digital skills.
Regular attendance is encouraged to build skills progressively, but each session is also valuable as a standalone learning experience. Check with your preferred library for specific session times and availability.
