  • The Computer in Your Pocket: Getting to Know Your Smartphone - iPhone Edition - Monday, February 6, 12-1pm. Smartphones are wonderful gadgets, but they can be overwhelming and confusing too. What does this button do and what does that picture mean, and why can't I just push a button and make a phone call? If you feel the same way, this class is perfect for you! Bring your iPhone and all your questions.
  • Smart Money Management with Budgeting Software - Monday, February 6, 5:30-6:30pm. Have you made personal finance one of your New Year’s Resolutions? There’s lots of digital options for helping to manage your dollars - but which one is the best? The answer depends on you!

  • Get Ready for Tax Time: An Introduction to Tax Software - Monday, February 13, 12-1pm or 5:30-6:30pm. If you’ve been wondering how to use one of the many online options for filing your taxes yourself but are unsure where to start, come to the library and let Jessica show you the way. In this class, we’ll cover TurboTax, Free File (from the IRS) and TaxSlayer.  Please note that this class is to review tax preparation software. We will not be providing tax advice or assisting in the preparation of taxes.
  • Finding Your Roots: A Guide to African American Genealogy - Tuesday, February 21,  5:30-6:30pm. Americans with enslaved people in their family trees have unique challenges when it comes to tracing their family trees. Because enslaved people were considered property, they were prohibited from owning land, property, businesses, reading, writing, attending school, and voting. It’s the legal records of these activities on which we base much of our genealogical research. Without them, what do we do? In this workshop we will learn about different sources for researching the records that do exist, ways to access them, and how to start compiling records of your own.
  • Learn to Love Your Computer: A User's Guide - Monday, February 27, 12-1pm. A computer can be a scary thing, but it doesn’t have to be. The more you use it, the more of a friend it will become. In this workshop, bring your questions and we will learn how to master the mouse, the keyboard, fix the settings to your comfort level and learn about security settings. Make sure to bring your charger and know your passwords if you have any.
  • AI: Exploring the Possibilities - Monday, February 27, 5:30-6:30pm. Recently AI or Artifical Intelligence has been in the news raising lots of questions for everyone. This workshop will explore AI - how it works, how you can use it, and whether it's good or bad. Come try it out!
