Technology Help
The South Burlington Public Library has dedicated volunteers and staff to provide individual technology assistance appointments for free! We can help you learn about your electronic devices so that you feel more confident using them. We also offer classes and training resources.
If you need assistance accessing eBooks checked out from the library, streaming videos from Kanopy, or using computers, printers, and scanners that are located in the library, you do not need an appointment. Visit our staff at the adult services desk on the second floor any time.
Sessions by Appointment
Forty-minute appointments with a volunteer are available regularly on the first and third Fridays* of the month, from 10:00am – 1:00pm and alternate Tuesdays*, from 1:00pm – 4:00pm. Registration is required.
*Please check our events schedule to confirm dates as schedules are subject to change due to holidays, closings, etc.
Other Times by Request
Our regularly scheduled times don’t work for you? Request a technology appointment during the library’s regular hours. We will connect you with a tech volunteer who will meet you in the library at a time that works for both of you. Registration is required.
