You don't have to be a computer whiz to be a Computer Coach at the Milwaukee Public Library!
Computer Coaches can make a real difference in a person's life by helping them improve their computer literacy abilities, an essential life skill in our increasingly modern world. Coaches work one-on-one with adult learners on a variety of beginner-level computer tasks including writing emails, utilizing the Microsoft Office Suite, creating online accounts, filling out online forms, maneuvering websites and search engines, and printing and scanning on MPL public devices.
Our Computer Coach program is offered as a drop-in service meaning meaning there are no appointments and Computer Coaches are not matched with specific individuals. Computer Coaches help all patrons who show up looking for assistance on a first come, fist served basis.
