Learn More Computer and Internet Skills Online

Our goal at the Adult Learning Center in the Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library is to teach the beginner computer and internet skills needed to use web browsers, search for information online, and send email.

Typing, Word Processing, and Internet Security

While we do not offer word processing, typing, or internet security classes, we have found a few great resources you can use on your own to improve your computer skills and become more comfortable with the web.
