Tea and teach with Barclays Digital Eagles Wednesday 20 January

Barclays Bank have a number of staff who are Digital Eagles - staff who help people to get more out of being online - and it turns out we have a flock of them in Guildford.

They are coming to Guildford Library on 20 January from 10.00 - 12.30 and say:

"Have you been wondering how to use or get more out of your smartphone or tablet?

If so, please join us for a morning of 'Tea and Teach', an event aimed at the over 55s where you can better learn how to use your device. Bring it in to the library where we can show you how to; setup and send emails, use Skype to make calls to family and friends around the world and use Google Maps to find directions to places or just to explore your favourite streets and countryside. We can also introduce you to the digital library services you can access online.

Tea and cakes will be provided so you only need to bring yourselves, your device and a curious mind and we can provide a safe environment for you to learn and ask questions."
