Library provides free tech assistance
The Howland Public Library in Beacon has joined Digital Navigators of the Hudson Valley, a program that provides free technology assistance.
Among other tasks, librarians have been trained to assist patrons with locating low-cost internet and phone service; learning to use devices; finding housing and food resources; telehealth visits; creating a resume and completing online job applications; connecting video calls; and applying for government services and benefits.
