Technology Engagement

Durham County Library is dedicated to helping bridge the digital divide. We provide technology instruction and digital literacy programming at our library locations as well as in collaboration with community organizations outside of the library.

Are you interested in the Library providing digital literacy programming for your organization or community? We can provide programming such as basic computer classes, technology help drop-in hours, or digital skills workshops on topics like scam prevention and finding reliable information online. Contact our Technology Engagement Librarian to talk with us about how we can help your community learn to better navigate the digital world. Request an in-person technology engagement session >

Interested in bringing a STEAM program to you? Contact our Maker + STEAM team for more information.

At our libraries you can find:
