iPads and other computer tablets

Our free Talking Tablet sessions can help you get to know your iPad or other computer tablet device.

Small tablet computers with touchscreen displays are ideal for enjoying your hobbies and interests.

Talking Tablet sessions are available in all libraries or online.

You'll be able to find out more about:

  • using your tablet's camera
  • editing photos
  • videos
  • downloading from the web
  • using apps such as FaceTime, iTunes and iCloud
  • keeping your data safe with security settings and back-ups
  • browsing free e-magazines
  • reading e-books

Bring your tablet with you to explore all the amazing things you can do with it. We will help you become more confident using your device and show you how to get the most from it.

Sessions last 2 hours, and you can come to as many as you like.
