Drop-in for help with technology questions

About Drop-in Tech Connect Sessions 

No registration is necessary for this drop-in session. Bring your technology questions to get help in a group setting. Tech Coaches will provide some help to everyone that attends this session.

Please 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 McCormick Branch desk. 

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