Digital Literacy
Free, judgment-free help building confidence and skills with technology — through drop-in Open Hours and scheduled classes. All ages and skill levels welcome.
👋 About Digital Literacy at EPL
Whether you've never touched a computer or just need help with one specific task, you're welcome here — no experience required, no judgment, and it's completely free. We help in two ways: drop in during Open Hours for quick, one-on-one questions, or join a Class that walks through a skill step by step. Everything happens in the 3rd Floor Computer Lab at 11 South Broad Street.
