Need help learning how to use a smartphone, tablet or other new tech tool? Have questions about email, writing a document, or setting up a social media account?
The library is here to help! We offer free, 30-minute one-on-one, goal-based tech help by appointment, and if your issue is beyond our skills, we’ll try to find outside help for you. We offer appointments on the following days/times:
- Mondays – 9:30 AM, 10:00 AM, and 10:30 AM.
- Tuesdays – 3:00 PM, 3:30 PM, and 4:00 PM.
- Wednesdays – 3:00 PM, 3:30 PM, and 4:00 PM.
Give us a call at (262) 723-2678 to make your appointment. In order to make sure there are enough appointments for everyone, you can make a maximum of two appointments per month. If you’re a new student, the librarian will work with you to figure out your goals in the first appointment.
