Having spent many years working in a library I feel very comfortable helping customers learn how to use Libby and Overdrive as well as some other e-resources. I’m experienced in Microsoft Word and am comfortable tutoring with Excel and Powerpoint. As for devices I am most experienced with Windows computers, iphones and ipads. I have some understanding of macs and android devices. In a world where technology is becoming even more important for connecting to others as well as expanding their education it is important to me to help others get comfortable using their devices for their needs.
