Computer Classes Available at Library!


The Belleville Public Library, in cooperation with the Republic County Economic Development Corp., is once again offering our popular computer classes.  Five different workshops are available, and participants may choose to attend any or all.  The workshops will offer an opportunity for hands-on learning, along with extensive handouts and tutorials.

“Computer Basics for Beginners” covers basic computer operations such as using the mouse and understanding the Windows 7 operating system.

“Introduction to the Internet” includes learning what the World Wide Web is, how to use a browser, and how to search for information on the Internet.

“Basic Word Processing” provides an introduction to Microsoft Word and the many features available. 

In “Introduction to Facebook” participants will learn how to create a profile, find and chat with friends, share pictures, and find popular games.  Security and privacy issues will also be covered.

“Facebook for Businesses & Non-Profits” will take learners deeper into the ins and outs and will include setting up a business Facebook account and getting more “likes.”  Participants must have taken the “Introduction to Facebook” class or already have a Facebook account set up before attending.
