Free Internet Taster Sessions

Free internet taster sessions are once again taking place at libraries across Sefton to help more people get online.

Sefton Council's Library Service is continuing to support the biggest digital inclusion campaign ‘Get Online Week’ in the UK, this year being held from October 17- 23.

Each library will hold sessions during the week, helping people to make their lives easier by either getting online for the first time or just updating their digital skills.

The taster events are aimed at beginners or people with limited computer experience to help them discover how they can get the best out of the internet.

Sessions are free, but as usual, places are limited and so advanced booking is essential. Details of times and dates for the ‘tasters’ to be held in our libraries are available below.

Libraries will also continue to support digital learning for the people of Sefton after Get Online week has ended.

Cllr Trish Hardy, Cabinet Member Communities and Housing, said: "It doesn’t matter if you've never even touched a computer before or just know a little bit, please come along and give it a go.

"We want people to spend an enjoyable hour or so, learning how to get the best out of the internet. To have online skills is becoming increasingly important in our society and can only help people in the long term."

To book a place during Get Online week, or inquire about learning new digital skills, please visit or telephone your local library.
