Tech help at the library
The Martin County Library System offers free one-on-one tech time appointments! These 30-minute appointments are to help you with specific technology-related questions when you're stumped by your device, want to learn a new skill, or are trying to complete a task.
Making an appointment gives us time to understand your question, research solutions in advance, and deliver information to you -- in a clear, digestible way.
Before your appointment:
- We'll call you to make sure we understand your specific question and all relevant details.
- Note: Some questions may be outside our scope and require commercial tech support. Examples include device repair or cleanup, entering sensitive information, restoring accounts, or medical, financial, or legal advice.
- Prepare any necessary materials like passwords, manuals, chargers, or cables.
- Write down additional questions or relevant observations to share.
During your appointment:
- Arrive on time. We'll have 30 minutes together, and we want to make the most of our time.
- Be prepared to drive! We will support you with personalized guidance and help you understand each step so you can handle similar questions in the future.
- Feel free to take notes. We all learn and retain information differently; let us know how we can help.
After your appointment:
- Review any relevant materials and information shared.
- Take an online class while the information is fresh! Some of our favorite resources are available from home - no login required!
- Practice! So much of technology is muscle memory.
