Learn to use a computer with free computer sessions

All Dorset Council libraries are registered Online Centres and support learning to use the computer and the internet through the Learn My Way course. You can access this site on your own using the free library computers or at home.

All libraries can offer initial digital assistance at any time by facilitating access to relevant courses via Learn My Way or signposting to other venues running IT help sessions in the local area.
