Many library branches provide basic computer classes, and although they are for everyone (adults), more often than not, we see patrons new to the United States signing up for Kent's classes. I'd like to discuss how you can find computer classes at KCLS, and generally what to expect.
You can pull up a list of all classes in the library system, or limit to specific branches. If you do find a class that you'd like to take, call the branch to find out if there is still space available, and to register for the class. Good luck!
Computer experience is not only critical to job seekers, but desirable for those trying to keep in touch with family and friends. Each class is a few hours long, and most classes are scheduled once each month. For people interested in more intensive instruction, community colleges might be the next best choice. Students do not need to bring anything - handouts are typically provided - but registration is required. There is no charge for library classes.
KCLS relies on volunteers (for the most part) to teach classes, and as a result the selection of classes may be limited, and may vary widely from branch to branch. The easiest way to inquire about classes is to simply call your local branch, or walk in and ask a staffperson. For the more ambitious person (if you already have a bit of computer experience, and internet access) - you can find a list of classes linked from our website: www.kcls.org.
