Library Programs

Library programs are an essential aspect to bringing people into the library. These programs usually revolve around the physical collection of the library or an activity held within the library. However, these programs should not be the only programs offered in a library. Classes teaching computer literacy should be a staple of the programs found in any library.

Computer classes should incorporate a variety of different programs. One of the classes that should be taught is basic computer skills that include information on the Internet, Internet searching, and Email. Another class that should be taught is a word processing program such as Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect. A basic class on a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel would also be beneficial.
