Did You Know?

Did you know that Oshawa Public Libraries (OPL) can help you maintain your tablet, iPad, e-reader, smartphone, smart TV and even your car? Did you know that they can also guide you in learning about the latest tech toys? Have you been wondering how 3-D printers work? Then the OPL Speaker Series of workshops is for you. 

On Jan. 31st, a workshop, called Dynamic Devices, was held at OPL’s Delpark Homes Centre Branch. Library staff demon-strated how to read and listen to books, stream music, movies, documentaries and TV shows and how to read magazines on the popular personal devices that most of us use. Does your device seem to be smarter than you are? One-on-one tech help sessions are available to aid you in dispelling that myth and this help is free just by showing your library card. 

Do you have questions about maintaining your car? The Feb. 27th OPL presentation, Basic Auto Maintenance, can answer them. A former auto technician will give you an overview of services needed to keep your car running well. You will also discover what resources the library can offer to help you learn even more about your car. 

Do you want to become tech-savvy and impress your children or grandchildren? On Mar. 27th, the third workshop in the OPL Speaker Series, Tech Toys, can help you with that. Library staff will bring the latest tech toys such as ozobots and google cardboard for you to try. 

Each of these workshops is held at OPL Delpark Homes Centre Branch. Registration is only $2.00 per workshop. Check the OSCC55+ Winter Activity Guide for more information and get ready to impress everyone.
