During the second week of September (9/11 - 9/17), the library will launch "Tech Training Week @ Your Library" which is a technology training promotion week involving all public libraries in Franklin County.

The Columbus Metropolitan Library is a participant in the state wide Connect Ohio / Every Citizen Online technology training program. The training sessions are a part of the federally funded Connect Ohio grant, which is designed to encourage an increase in the adoption of broadband internet service in Ohio. The program includes three technology training classes: Introduction to Computers, Basic Internet and Using the Internet. During Tech Training Week, the library will expand offerings to include classes on social media. All classes are offered at the Main Library as well as Hilltop, Gahanna, Northern Lights, Karl Road, Reynoldsburg and Linden branches. As part of Tech Training week, the library is expanding class offerings to include the Southeast and South High branch libraries. The library will also begin offering classes in Spanish at the Hilltop Branch and Somali at the Northern Lights branch as part of a new partnership with Columbus State Community College.

To sign up for classes, call the library information line at 645-2275.
