Lending Library
Our
Mission Statement
The
SDCLC sponsored Computer Lending Program is designed to encourage
the use of computers by making them accessible to those who
are unable to otherwise acquire them; thereby increasing their
quality of life, literacy, fluency and enhancing the specialty
skills that have become a requirement for more employment
opportunities - even in entry-level positions.
The
Computer Lending Library supplies you with a basic set of
computer equipment and will also offer basic instructions
for assembling and operating your computer. The training is
scheduled through the Selkirk & District Community Learning
Centre.
