About Tech Connect 


During this personalized one-on-one technology session, a Tech Coach will help you build your digital skills and knowledge using your laptop, tablet or mobile device. Select the topic that you want to learn about such as Waterloo Public Library's online resources, using email or navigating the internet. 


Note that Tech Coaches are not able to help with computer or hardware repairs or provide ongoing appointments as tutoring sessions. We reserve the right to determine if your technology needs can be met by WPL staff. If we are not able to help with a specific technology-related question, we may be able to suggest alternative resources in the community. 


Meet your Tech Coach at the John M. Harper Service Point. 


Please only book one Tech Connect session at a time. 


See our Tech Help webpage for more information on how the library can help you with technology.
