sessions will resume on Friday 5 March from 10am to 4.30pm.

These are 30 minute one-on-one sessions for members of the community who might need assistance navigating new technology.

"We understand that the digital world is an ever-changing, intimidating place for some and it's easy to feel like you're getting left behind, but often a little help goes a long way," MidCoast Council Libraries manager, Chris Jones said.

"After almost 12 months, it's great that we can again offer this popular service to our community and we're delighted to have Optus assisting us again," Mr Jones said.

The joint initiative is about supporting people in the Mid Coast community to stay connected and get the most out of their device.

It's a beneficial program for anyone needing a helping hand with their smartphone, tablet or computer, with local experts available every second Friday to help participants better understand the technology they have.

Optus Mid North Coast general manager, Chris Simon said his team was pleased to continue to partner with council to deliver this initiative.

"Connectivity is vitally important for regional Australia and learning how to get online easily and safely is often something that many of us take for granted," Mr Simon said.

"This program will provide simple tricks and tips to participants in a relaxed environment, ensuring they can get the most from their devices and online experience."

These free sessions are fortnightly on Fridays (starting 5 March) from 10am to 4.30pm at Taree library.
