About CLL
The Computer Lending Library is designed to encourage the use of technology by all members of our community. It does so by making functional computer systems accessible to those who are unable to otherwise acquire them; thereby increasing their quality of life, literacy, fluency and the specialty skills that have become a requirement for more employment opportunities, even in entry-level positions.
Who is the Library For?
The Computer Lending Library specifically targets several known segments of our community:
- low income households
- students of all ages (children/youth/adult)
- seniors
- persons with disabilities
- unemployed and/or underemployed
- new entrepreneurs (particularly youth)
- new immigrants with language and/or literacy issues
- community residents with literacy issues
- economically disadvantaged individuals
- organizations that assist the above listed community members
What does the Program Provide?
The program will supply a basic set of computer equipment. Specialized equipment and aids needs will be referred to other agencies that already have programs that augment a computer user's needs for speciality equipment.
Instructions for assembly and basic computer operation will be provided during orientation. Basic computer training may be offered that introduces individuals to the main components of a computer at scheduled training programs
Sponsored in part by Computers for Schools and the Selkirk and District Community Learning Centre.
