Inspired by society\u2019s increasing reliance on technology during the pandemic, the BiblioTech Connect project aims to make using tech devices more accessible to seniors.<\/h4>

Our approach includes lending out free tablets with built-in internet to seniors at home, hosting an in-person Tech Caf\u00e9 for digital literacy opportunities, and offering ongoing one-on-one volunteer support.<\/p>

This project is funded by a generous grant from the New Horizon\u2019s for Seniors Program.<\/p>

TECH CAFE –<\/strong> The in-person Tech Caf\u00e9 is open to all community members.
Bring your own device or borrow a Yellow Door tablet, and have your tech questions answered!
We will have volunteers present to provide one-on-one support, educational presentations aimed at improving digital literacy skills, and opportunities for small group tech projects.
The Tech Caf\u00e9 will take place on Thursdays from 3:00-5:00pm at Galeries du Parc, 3590 Jeanne Mance (first door on the left) weekly starting September 9th. <\/strong><\/p>

TABLET LENDING –<\/strong> Seniors who are current members of the YD may borrow a tablet for two weeks at a time.
Rentals and returns will take place at the in-person Tech Caf\u00e9 at Galeries du Parc.
If you cannot attend the Tech Caf\u00e9 but are still interested in borrowing a tablet, please contact us to organize a tablet delivery and pickup.<\/p>
