Clarence Regional Library launches First Nations Computer Classes Program

Clarence Regional Library is excited to announce a grant funded pilot program exclusively for our First Nations seniors, aimed at enhancing digital skills and preserving their rich history. Running for the next 12 months, this program will feature 24 sessions, split between Grafton and Maclean.

Starting in Grafton for the first six months and then moving to Maclean, we’ll be offering two types of sessions each month: tech help and digital scanning. Each session is designed to be welcoming, supportive, and incredibly useful.
