We've found a local volunteer to run a Code Club, and we're just waiting for their DBS check to come through. Now we need to arrange the sessions, which will probably be late-afternoon drop-in sessions for children over the summer holidays.

We are also looking at running lunchtime learning sessions, where our online resource suppliers could come in a talk about their products.

We've still got the ambition of running a regular Minecraft session, but have not started planning this, especially as we have so many other ideas about Digital Friday that we would like to fit into the programme.

Welcome to Digital Fridays

Surrey Libraries are running Digital Friday events starting on 26 June 2015 and will be held on the last Friday of every month at Guildford Library . Digital Friday is a programme of events which will take place on the last Friday of the month at Guildford library.  The aim is to establish the library service's reputation as making interesting digital things happen, to make contacts within relevant local organisations, and to build a list of people willing to act either as steering group members or as volunteers for a possible makerspace. If you would like to add your name to the list, please email: virtuallibrary@surreycc.gov.uk This blog is to share information about our Digital Friday events.
