Computer Classes

Beginning Computer will be held on November 12 and 13. This class is for the true beginner. Students will learn parts of a desktop computer and how software works, how to open and close programs, use a mouse and a flash drive, and introductory to word processing. There are no prerequisites for this class and students will need to attend all sessions.

Microsoft Word will be offered on Wednesday, November 20 and Thursday November 21. Students must have basic computer skills. Topics will include saving documents, choosing borders and fonts, inserting clipart, “cut and paste”, and more.

Laptop Tips will be held Tuesday, December 3, and will teach students how to choose a laptop computer, add a mouse, keyboard and other peripherals. Also, how to disable the camera or sound, how to use headphones, and the proper way to clean the screen and outer case.  This is a “round table” discussion, so bring your own laptop if you have any questions about it.

Installing and Using a Printer will be held on Thursday, December 5.  Students learn how to choose and install a printer, save on ink, select correct paper types, and print pictures and greeting cards.  (Will need to know their home computer’s operating system.)

Other classes available by request:  How to create Certificates & Greeting Cards, Introduction to PowerPoint,  Basics of the Internet,  and  Microsoft’s Excel.

Classes will be taught using Windows XP, 7, 10, and 11 to accommodate students who may have computers using any of those operating systems, and programs are made applicable for Windows 8.1. Classes will be held in the upstairs library computer lab beginning at 1:30 p.m. and class size is limited to eight students. There is elevator access to the classroom.

Students may register with Jill now at the library’s information desk. Signups are on a first-come, first-served basis. Since class size is limited and there is usually a waiting list, so registered students are asked to let the library know if they cannot attend so someone else can take that opening.

Humphreys Cultural Center at 1710 Sam Houston Street, across from the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. Hours are: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 1 to 5 p.m. on Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
