Computer Instruction

At this time, the library is not offering individual and group computer lessons. 

Non-Scheduled Computer Instruction

Library staff provides basic Internet assistance and minimal instruction in the use of computers as time and staffing permits. To insure continuation of other services, the amount of time available for non-scheduled individual computer instruction is limited.

Library staff is unable to support functions that fall outside the realm of instruction, including creating, editing and/or designing content and managing, ordering or assessing goods and/or services online. With the exception of e-reader devices, library staff cannot troubleshoot or provide instruction for non-library technology.

Patrons interested in becoming familiar with computers, learning new programs and/or enhancing technology skills are encouraged to register for group computer classes or one-on-one computer lessons.


Group Computer Lessons

On a rotating basis, the library offers group computer classes for adults ages 18 and over on topics such as Microsoft Word, computer basics and setting up an email account. Each class is 60 minutes in length and costs $10 per person, unless otherwise noted. The class is limited to four students, with a minimum of two students required to hold the class. Registration for group classes close when class size is reached or four business days before the class, whichever comes first.

To register, computer class students must have a valid library card in good standing. Cards can be obtained at Green Tree Public Library’s front desk by presenting a valid photo identification and proof of current address.

Individuals may sign up for group computer classes in person, over the phone or online through the library’s calendar of events. Payment for classes is due in person at the library within two library business days of registration. Registrants who fail to provide payment within the specified time will lose his/her space in the class.

One-on-one Computer Lessons

For students seeking more personalized technology instruction, the library offers one-on-one computer lessons for adults ages 18 and over. Each class is 60 minutes in length and costs $20 per person.

To register, computer class students must have a valid library card in good standing. Cards can be obtained at Green Tree Public Library’s front desk by presenting a valid photo identification and proof of current address.

Individuals may sign up for one-on-one computer lessons in person, over the phone or online through the library’s calendar of events. Registration for one-on-one lessons opens on the last Monday of each month for the next month’s classes. Payment for lessons is due in person at the library within two library business days of registration. Registrants who fail to provide payment within the specified time will lose his/her one-on-one computer lesson reservation.

The library provides computer instruction on a variety of topics and will do their best to accommodate patron needs. However, the library may not be able to fulfill requests for software-specific or advanced instruction. A librarian will be in touch with students after registration to get a better sense of their needs and see if the one-on-one lessons are a good fit.

Fees for computer classes are non-refundable.

If the registrant cancels less than four library business days prior to a class or lesson, or no-shows on the day of the class or lesson, fees are forfeited and will not be applied to any subsequent training. If the registrant cancels at least four library business days prior to a lesson or class, or if the library cancels any classes or lessons, fees will be retained and applied to the next available class or lesson.

The library reserves the right to alter class or lesson schedules, content, limit class size, reschedule, discontinue or cancel classes or lessons.

Unemployed Patron Lessons

The library offers up to two free one-on-one computer lessons to unemployed patrons seeking to improve job opportunities. If you are currently unemployed, please call or stop into the library to learn more about how to register for these computer lessons. Proof of unemployment is required.
