North Yorkshire Libraries
Most libraries have IT buddies - friendly volunteers who can help you learn how to use a library computer or your own device. Speak to a volunteer or member of staff to find out what your library offers.
Our IT buddies are volunteers and there are restrictions on what they can help with.
Specialist equipment is also available for people with disabilities.
Let your library know in advance what equipment you require and we will do our best to provide this.
