Computer Workshops at the Coeur d’Alene Public Library are free to our patrons and available on a first come, first served basis. Schedules will be posted in the library and on our website. Space is limited. In order to attend, please arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled class.

The following is a list of computer workshops we offer at the library:

• Basics in Word (Word Processing) - Workshop gives patrons a basic understanding of how to create, edit, and format documents in a word processing program. Basic typing skills and basic knowledge of computers are necessary.
• Basics in Excel (Spreadsheets) - Have long lists of numbers or information that need taming or calculating? A spreadsheet can help. We’ll help you explore and understand the parts of the spreadsheet, basic formulas, basic formatting, and editing. Basic typing skills and basic knowledge of computers are necessary.
• Intermediate Excel (Spreadsheets) - Spreadsheets do much more than crunch numbers. Join us to learn about Excel’s database functionality, creating charts and graphs, and creating more effective formulas on the run. Basic typing skills and basic knowledge of computers are necessary.
• Basics in Publisher (Desktop Publishing) - Have a quick project, such as creating a sign or business card? Need to whip up a quick brochure? You might want to create your project in Publisher. Microsoft Publisher is a desktop publishing program which makes creating signs, cards, banners, brochures, business cards, and other types of documents a quick task, not a chore. Basic typing skills and basic knowledge of computers are necessary.
• Basics in PowerPoint (Presentations) - If you have information that needs to be communicated effectively in a staff meeting, to a class, or just need information on display, consider using PowerPoint.
