Connect Ohio distributed 8 new HP Omni desktop computers to Putnam County District Library Director Kelly Ward Tuesday, January 18, 2011, as part of the Every Citizen Online program.
“These computers will be replacing old public computers throughout the county,” said Kelly Ward, library director. “This otherwise wouldn’t have been possible after budget cuts and a levy failure.”
Free computer training sessions will be provided at public libraries and community colleges throughout Ohio to introduce new users to a wide range of communication, education, and healthcare tools available online. Interested adults throughout Ohio are eligible to participate in the program, which is geared toward first-time computer and broadband users. The program is titled Every Citizen Online and will run for 2-years.
Putnam County District Public Libraries are providing the self-paced training online at their multiple branch locations.
The coursework includes three sessions covering computer basics, an introduction to the Internet, and discussions about how broadband can be helpful in daily life.
