Digital Literacy

M&ABJ Bristow Public Library works to provide 1:1 assistance to those struggling with digital navigation. However, due to under-staffing, this assistance is not always available on demand.

Our Adult Tech Ed class helps adults master modern computer skills in a small class setting. Learners will create a personal Gmail account and learn how to use Google Drive, Sheets, and Docs as well as about digital citizenship, netiquette (digital etiquette), and digital safety.

ATEd meets every Friday from 10 AM – Noon in the main conference room. Participants are encouraged to bring lunch. Coffee is provided.

Textual Literacy

Our Read with a Friend program gives one-to-one assistance with adults who seek to improve their reading skills.

English as a Second Language (ESL)

We work with English Language Learners to improve their English-speaking, reading, and writing skills.

Citizenship

We work with citizenship applicants to help them prepare for their civics and language exams.
