Launched in 2010, Western Sullivan Public Library's Public Computer Center (PCC) provides free public access computing services and instruction to the general public. This is part of a statewide initiative, Broadbandexpress@yourlibrary, funded by the Recovery Act through September 2012. The focus is on services for the unemployed and improving computer literacy.  Our classes, private instruction, and facilities are open and available to anyone! So whether you've never touched a computer before or are looking to improve your skill-level with specific software, there will be a course for you! Check back often for upcoming courses, consultant availability, and additional resources.  Or email us at PCC@RCLS.org.

Being a Public Computer Center, we were pleased to be interviewed on our community's Public Radio Station, WJFF, this past Monday.

On the program Making Waves, Cindy and Patrick got a chance to discuss things like who comes into PCC classes, and what classes are coming up.

You can listen to the interview here, or hear the full program at www.wjffradio.org's online audio archive.
