In today’s digital age, technology has become an integral part of our lives.
However, not everyone is comfortable using it, especially seniors. The good news is that there are programs like Seniors Connect, offered by the Marian Sutherland Kirby Library, that can help bridge the gap between seniors and technology.
Seniors Connect is a program that pairs seniors with tech-savvy teenagers who can help them navigate their smartphones, laptops and tablets.
The program offers an hour of one-on-one assistance, during which seniors can ask any questions they have about technology. Whether it’s sending a text message, using a calendar or setting up a Facebook account, the teenagers are there to provide guidance and support. This program not only helps seniors feel more confident using technology, but also fosters intergenerational connections between teenagers and seniors.
If you or a loved one could benefit from Seniors Connect, call the Marian Sutherland Kirby Library today at 570-474-9313 to sign up.
