According to the Guiding Ohio Online website,
"Guiding Ohio Online is an AmeriCorps program that places members in rural Ohio libraries to deliver digital literacy training through computer classes, one-on-one computer assistance, outreach, and volunteer recruitment.Our vision is for every Ohioan to be able to fully participate in online government, search and apply for jobs online, understand the risks and benefits of internet finance, connect with family online, and protect personal information in the digital age."
Gauthier has spent the past year teaching classes including: computer coding (for Teens), Outsmarting smart phones, Computer basics, and more, as well as offering 1-on-1 assistance, and helping maintain the library's computers and software.
The Library is thrilled to have Max for another year! If you are interested in setting up an appt. with Max, stop by the Library, or call 419-634-5246.
