OUR TECHNOLOGY HELP

General Computer Assistance

Library staff is happy to provide brief computer assistance. For any computer-related issues involving more comprehensive assistance, the library provides a variety of instructional options. Customers are encouraged to register for a computer class, visit a technology open house session, or schedule a 30 minute appointment (see below).

Library staff may provide general computer support, but cannot execute the actual work.

Computer Assistance - By Appointment Only

If you have specific computer-related questions, you may schedule a one-on-one computer assistance session with a knowledgeable staff member.

To set up a session, please call 412-882-6622 or email us to arrange a mutually compatible time.

Due to limited staff time and availability, sessions are limited to 30 minutes and patrons may only sign up for a session once per month. These sessions are designed to be instructional, library staff may provide support, but cannot execute the actual work. Please note, we will not diagnose or troubleshoot any problems on your home system or laptop.
