Project Next Generation

Posted December 20th, 2011 in Teens, Uncategorized

In today’s world, nearly anything that’s done is touched, in some way, by technology; specifically, computers and computer-assisted technology. You want to have that cutting edge; the one that gives your profile the kind of attention it needs to land you wherever it is that you’re wanting to be: in a great job that you love, with lots of potential; at the top of the list of people that that college you’re wanting to attend is considering for admission; or, in a position to start your own business, where you’ll be in charge. The Hayner Public Library District has resources available to give you experience, skills in using current cutting-edge technology, and the poise and presence to be able to sell your talents to others.
Project Next Generation, a program sponsored by the Illinois Secretary of State, is now in its sixth year of implementation at Hayner. We are excited to be able to offer Saturday workshops once per month using the newest technologies. Our winter workshops are filling up fast, so don’t wait to sign up! Meeting dates are Saturdays, January 21, 2012, for Web Design; February 25, 2012, for My Family History and the Day I Was Born; and March 31, 2012, for How to Use Garage Band on your iPad. In addition, we are hoping to develop a cadre of Project Next Generation graduates to be mentors to the younger patrons who want to learn how to use our computers and technological equipment.

Come join us for one of our Saturday sessions! There is no cost involved, and the payoffs are huge. Call 433-2861 for more information or to sign up for our next session! Limited space is available!
