Library

This class will offer students an opportunity to become familiar with spreadsheets.  They will learn what a spreadsheet is and some common uses for them.  Using hands-on exercises the students will create a simple budget spreadsheet and an electronic checkbook.  This class assumes the student has some experience with Windows and using a mouse.  Beginner class. 

Classes are FREE but we do ask that you call (903) 237-1354 or stop in and register in advance. Also, if you sign-up for a class and cannot make it, please be considerate and call and cancel with us so that we may give your spot to someone else. We hate turning away people, as many of our classes do fill up!

If there's a program you really enjoy and we don't offer a class for it- you can start one- the possibilities are endless!

Also, we would also love to be able to offer some computer classes in Spanish so if you speak Spanish fluently- come see us!
