Technology Help
TCPL offers a variety of technology help. Just ask a staff member at any information desk of any branch. If you have questions about a tablet, laptop, e-reader, or other mobile device, please bring it with you.
Book-A-Librarian is your chance to get one-on-one personal help with a wide range of topics, both with library services and with general technology assistance. These sessions last up to one hour and are generally for one or two people. Examples include:
- Installing and using library apps, including Libby, Hoopla, and Kanopy
- Using library databases and Tipcat
- Basic use of Android and Apple devices such as phones and tablets
- Basics of Microsoft Office programs
- Genealogy research
- Resume building and job searching
- Setting up an email or social media account
- General research online
- Library tours can also be arranged for groups.
The library cannot provide any sort of legal, financial, or medical advice. The library cannot repair devices.
Did you know that the library offers free downloadable ebooks, audiobooks, music, and videos? Do you need help putting those onto your device to enjoy? Drop by any information desk at any branch for help.
Check back regularly to learn more about more upcoming technology events.
You can also check out our library collection. We have hundreds of books and magazines that cover everything from specific versions of Windows or Office to the latest tablet computers and graphics programs. Search on TIPCAT or ask for help at any information desk.
