quick, easy classes focused on actual outcomes for patrons, without
requiring a budget, dedicated facilities, or specialized knowledge.
Classes that your patrons can relate to, geared towards actual
needs or interests, and not just to "techy" people. How to's and
other elements to effectively use simple software and allow patrons

successful.
