Wi-Fi enabled tablets loaned to older adults

We work with Premier Wireless Technology, in Texas, to purchase and support the tablets. The funding comes from AgeOptions.

This is a 3 week check-out, renewals if there is not a waiting list. Only available to cardholders from our library.

Teaching older adults to use tablets requires face-to-face instruction, something that wasn't possible for most of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I didn't know how much technology vocabulary and practice older adults need to learn.
