Napier Libraries, in partnership with Stepping Up: Digital Skills for Life and Digital Inclusion Alliance Aotearoa, have put together a range of free digital skills workshops for the community.
These two-hour workshops cover a selection of topics including internet safety, smartphones, eBooks and Family History.
