Area residents interested in enhancing their knowledge and skills with computers and the Internet are invited to participate in free computer classes as the non-profit Connect Ohio organization announces new learning opportunities.

The educational initiative, titled Every Citizen Online, is being led by Connect Ohio as part of a $6.9 million federal grant the organization has received to help expand access to broadband Internet to consumers across the state. Each self-paced class will highlight computer basics, an introduction to the Internet and other programs including how broadband can be helpful in your daily life. Connect Ohio will offer free hands-on computer classes at the Library.  To get more information or to register please call (740) 702-4000 Ext. 20.
