HAMLIN TOWNSHIP — The Mason County District Library will host the first of a series of Remote Tech Help sessions on Thursday, Nov. 21 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Hamlin Township Hall, 3775 N. Jebavy Dr. Library staff will be on hand to answer technology questions and help people with their devices. Mason County residents will also be able to sign up for library cards and borrow devices.
The Remote Tech Help series which will include 15 sessions between now and May 2025 is funded by a $25,000 Digital Inclusion Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Library of Michigan. The grant has funded the purchase of new laptops, e-readers and hotspots and the cost of the tech help sessions.
The library has been offering regular tech help sessions at the Scottville Senior Center, the Ludington branch library and Longfellow Towers. During these sessions, the library staff helps people with technology issues ranging from new device setup and device settings to managing email inboxes.
These remote tech help sessions will make it more convenient for people to get the technology help they might need. During one of these sessions, a Mason County resident will be able to come in and learn some computer basics, then sign up for a library card, check-out the device and bring it home. Then the device can be sent back to the library through the U.S. Postal Service.
