April/May 2010 Berkshire Athenaeum Workshops Announced

Today is the "ides of March" - March 15. Caesar, rightfully, had a sense of foreboding this day. But you don't have to worry because you are not Caesar. And the announcement of new computer workshops to be held in April and May does not bring a sense of foreboding. Instead it's a sense of anticipation and looking forward to good things happening at the Berkshire Athenaeum even in the face of municipal cutbacks and reduction of hours.

This will be the 2nd set of workshops to be held in 2010. The first set was held during January and February. This time around there will be a wide variety of offerings. Each workshop is one hour and will be held in the evenings and on Saturdays. Starting Saturday, April 3 with 10 FreeWebsites You Will Want to Consult Regularly and ending Wednesday evening, May 26, with Word 2007 Tables, there will be over a dozen workshops.

Workshops offered will include many with a web 2.0 orientation, including ones on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Blogs and Blogging. Microsoft Office 2007 workshops will include Word Basics and Advanced, Excel 101 and 102. Other workshops are Job Search Resources in Learning Express, how to be a Smart Consumer, Gmail, and Going Mobile.

Workshops fill up quickly and preregistration is required. It's easy to register. Just call 413-499-4980, ext 202 and have your name added or drop in at the Reference Desk and sign up for the workshop(s) of your choice. Did I mention that all workshops are Free?! Well, they are! So while you are thinking about it, why don't you give us a call?
