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. |

 Have you heard about the PCC's upcoming "business" classes? While all of our classes are aimed at improving the Sullivan County workforce, two classes in particular will help small business grow their online presence. Learn how to go global without leaving Main Street with our "Promoting Your Business with Facebook" course on Wednesday, May 23rd, and our"Google Search Engine Optimization for Business" course on May 30th. Both will take place at the Delaware Free Public Library at 45 Lower Main Street in Callicoon, NY on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 - 7:30PM. Both classes are free and offer something for everyone. Advanced Registration is required and can be completed here.
