Technology can be challenging, so join our enthusiastic BH Tech Team, who will give you a good foundation and the confidence to use your preferred devices (e.g phone, laptop, e-reader) . Our team can also provide you with information on how to use library resources such as Libby (ebooks and audiobooks) and Hoopla (music, video, graphic novels). 

Our BH Tech group will be available to assist you with basic tech questions, as well as point you in the right direction for topics we do not handle.

Here are a few examples of the topics we do not cover:

- Diagnosis and Repair of Devices
