Make a difference in people's lives by helping them develop basic computer skills.
It's becoming more difficult for people with little or no computer experience to find adequate training to develop the necessary skills needed to navigate in our increasingly wired-in world. The Scottsdale Public Library offers free computer classes for beginner and intermediate level users, and teaches them subjects like computer fundamentals, email use, the internet, and office tools.
Are you familiar with Windows 10 or Microsoft Office? With iPads, Android devices, and popular apps? How about cloud computing? Do you enjoy working with others, both one-on-one and in a classroom setting? We would love to have you join our team of computer lab volunteers.
In our libraries each day we work with so many patrons that struggle with the basic computer skills necessary to apply for jobs and benefits, search for information, or connect with others. You can help.
Our Computer Coaches assist our Computer Instructors in a free computer class. The Instructors will teach the materials, and students who are following along on our library laptops may need help navigating the lesson, and this is where our Computer Coaches come in.
Right now we have a need for Computer Coaches for our Fall of 2022 classes. These classes will begin in October of 2022.

History of Scottsdale Public Library
The Scottsdale Public Library was started in the summer of 1955 by Lou Ann Noel and Beth Fielder. Located in the un-air-conditioned Adobe House, which at the time served as a community center, the library was originally open for only two hours, two mornings a week, and its collection consisted of 300 donated books.
In 1959 the Friends of the Library, a non-profit, community organization made up entirely of volunteers, was organized to support and fund-raise for the library. In 1960 the City of Scottsdale assumed responsibility for the library and hired the first professionally trained librarian. Later, the City hired additional paid staff to keep up with the demands of the community and, in 1968, opened a new 37,000-square-foot main library.
