Next week (12-16 October 2015) is ‘Get Online Week’. This is the annual week which encourages people to see how much can be done online – from saving money, finding a new home, keeping in touch with friends and family, and opening a bank account.

Free sessions are being held to help Bury residents ‘go digital’ and use the internet.

There are four free ‘drop in’ sessions, all from 10am to 1pm in Radcliffe and Bury (unfortunately none in Prestwich!)

Monday 12 October – Whittaker Street, Radcliffe
Tuesday 13 October – Radcliffe Library
Wednesday 14 October – Bury Library*
Friday 16 October – Bury Library*

Visitors can get advice about using their tablet, iPad or smart phone, and tips on how to use price comparison websites, do their shopping online, and use apps and Skype.

Staff will also show you how to use Bury Council’s website for all manner of things, from checking your bin collection date to renewing a library book, booking a sports session or reporting a problem.

*EE and Bury Job Centre will be at both the Bury Library Events. The Job Centre will deal with any employment related queries, while EE will be bringing tablets and smart phones for people to try out and will answer questions on using these or other devices.
