[Publib] RE: Public computer classes

[Autumn Gerfen]

We have a gentleman who volunteers his time to teach people basic computer
skills. This is very basic knowledge, beginning simply from things like how
to use a mouse and how to turn on a computer. The goal is to eventually get
them be able to use the internet without help and to set up an e-mail. 

His sessions are usually an hour long and there's a total of 3 classes. We
have had so many patrons signing up that he is dedicating his Tuesday nights
as well as Saturday mornings just to teach these classes.
