Due to popular demand, the Ipswich County Library is offering the well received computer course again this year. The course is offered in partnerhip with Lxpert. The courses will be held at Chaucer Room, 2nd Floor, Ipswich County Library, Northgate St, Ipswich IP1 3DE. Spaces are limited. Please book your place at the library enquiry desk on the ground floor or call 01473 927 260.

Unfortunately, due to the closure of the AgeUK Suffolk Ipswich Help Centre in June 2019, we are unable to offer any free 1-to-1 help during Get Online Week this year. Hopefully we will find a way to offer a similar service soon. So watch this space!
Don't worry. You are always welcome to join us at the digital skills workshops at the Ipswich County Library and Felixstowe Library (see info above)
If you have any further questions or need some help with your computer, tablet, smartphone or the Internet, our friendly local experts are happy to provide you personal help at a convenient time and location to you (e.g. at the comfort of your own home). Find out more here.
Have a great Get Online Week!
