We are all exposed to digital environments in one form or another, and many of us find that new technology can be frustrating to navigate. Nevada County Library is here to help. There are a variety of options for tech assistance at your local library, from drop-in tech sessions, workshops on specific software or platforms, and one-on-one appointments for in-depth troubleshooting. Library staff can provide basic assistance on a variety of devices – iPhones, tablets, Androids, laptops and more. Staff will refer you to a professional if the particular challenge is beyond their skillset. Find a tech help program through our online event calendar, or call (530) 265-7050 for assistance.
