If Santa is kind enough to leave a smartphone in your stocking this Christmas, you may find yourself with questions about how to use it.

The Ashburton Public Library is offering Introduction to Smart Phones courses over January as part of their Free Digital Training programme.

The two-hour course will take attendees through the basics of how to use their new devices and has no restrictions on age, however bookings are essential.

The course will run four times in January, with afternoon sessions on 4, 11 and 25 January between 1pm to 3pm and an evening class on 18 January between 6pm and 8pm. Bookings can be made by visiting the library, calling 03 308 7192 or emailing library@adc.govt.nz.

The library has an extensive range of digital training courses planned for the new year, including topics such as Applying for Jobs Online, Digital Apps for Seniors and Creating a Website or Blog using Wordpress.
