[Publib] Computer Classes

[maura deedy]

Hi Polly,

We have offered a few 2.0 type classes, Social Networking for Parents 
and Blogs, RSS and Wikis, which had okay attendance. The Digital 
Photography is usually very well attended. We are offering two more next 
month: one oninstant online communication (IM, SMS, social networks) and 
another covering  YouTube, Craigslist, LinkedIn, and Yelp.

Some of our more savvy computer users have been asking for more beyond 
the basics type classes. We receive reference questions about these 
sites as well, so there appears to be some awareness and interest in our 
community.

I'll let you know how they go!

Maura
