Having trouble figuring out that gadget you got for Christmas?
The Free Library’s tech help desk is back for a second year.
Librarians will offer help deciphering manuals and installing apps at the E-Gadget Holiday Help Desk, while also offering lessons how to download library e-books.
The Free Library recently announced that e-book circulation grew 33 percent this year and shortened lending times to try and keep up with the demand.
To get assistance with your gadgets, apps or e-books, you must visit the library’s e-help desk in person.
The help desk is open with limited hours at the Free Library’s main branch at 19th and Vine starting December 26 through January 3.
If the holiday season is just too busy for some patrons, the library will keep offering help next year on Tuesday afternoons.
