“Myself and Andrew Nilsen on the Learning Team completed another Welcome to Computers cohort, this time at Holgate Library! One patron gave the following feedback about this program that warmed my heart and made clear the positive impact Welcome to Computers has for the Spanish-speaking patrons who participate: ‘The attention and dedication that the professor puts into each of his classes, providing detailed and precise information, with dynamic activities in the class and different ways for us to learn better, makes me feel much more prepared than when I arrived at the beginning.’" — Library Digital Equity & Inclusion Specialist Junix Seraphim
