    Need help with technology?  Bring your device or borrow a Chromebook for in-branch use.  A member of our team will help with questions related to the device (e.g. phone, tablet or laptop) or software, as well as demonstrate how to use library resources such as Libby (ebooks and audiobooks) and Hoopla (music, video, graphic novels). 

    Sorry, we cannot help with questions regarding device repairs, online banking or shopping.  Any questions which cannot be answered in 15 minutes will require a Library 1:1 of 30 minutes to 1 hour. 

    Vous avez besoin de l’aide avec la technologie ?  Apportez votre appareil ou empruntez un Chromebook pour utiliser en succursale.  Un membre de notre équipe pourra vous aider avec l’utilisation de l’appareil (par ex. un téléphone mobile, une tablette, un ordinateur portatif) ou des logiciels, ainsi que démontrer l’usage des ressources de la bibliothèque tels que Cantook (les livres numériques et audio) et Hoopla (la vidéo, la musique et les bandes dessinées). 

    Nous ne pouvons pas répondre aux questions à propos de la réparation, du commerce en ligne, de la banque en ligne, etc.  Toutes questions qui ne peuvent pas être répondus en 15 minutes nécessiterons un Biblio tête-à-tête de 30 minutes à une heure.
