Technology Help

Tech Connect Express

Need help with your phone, tablet, computer, or other devices? Book a free one-on-one technology assistance session with Woollahra Libraries' volunteers. Whether you're a senior or someone with little digital experience, our Tech Connect Express service is here to help you develop the skills and confidence to use your devices effectively.

You can bring your own device or use our library computers, depending on what you'd like to learn. To make the most of your session, we encourage you to come prepared with specific questions or a clear idea of what you want to learn, such as setting up email, navigating eBay, or downloading eBooks.

Limited spaces available, bookings are essential. See our Events Calendar or sign up to our eNewsletter for upcoming dates.

Tech at Ascham

Tech at Ascham is a free, weekly digital technology training program which runs for 5-7 weeks, offering personalised learning for people aged 55+ at Ascham School.

Introduction to computer skills
Creating and managing an email account
Google searches and tools
Online databases and finding services for Seniors
