DePauw University, PCPL work together to confront digital divide

Putnam County residents have long been able to receive help with their devices at the library. Now they are able to drop in on Mondays for immediate assistance thanks to a partnership between the Putnam County Public Library and DePauw University.

CTEP is a DePauw- sponsored program that aims to bridge the digital divide in Putnam County by offering workshops and office hours to increase technical literacy. CTEP is now offering office hours on Mondays from 4-6 p.m. at the library.

The library offers additional drop-in technology assistance on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

“We are excited to offer additional opportunities for our visitors to interact with new technologies, as well as learning how best to use their current devices,” said Library Director Matt McClelland.

The library continues to offer one-on-one help with technology and devices by appointment. To make an appointment, email atincher@pcpl21.org or call 765-301-7094.

The library is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m.-8 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. The library is closed on Sundays.
