The third annual Tech Day is coming to the New Westminster Public Library.
On Saturday, Sept. 24 between 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. the library will transform into a technological hub. People of all ages and technical ability are invited to drop by for this free event. Try out the newest tech gadgets, play the latest video games, learn about online library resources and enter to win prizes.
Immediately following the event, the library will host an all-ages Instantflix Film Festival, complete with popcorn and refreshments. We’ll be featuring short family-friendly films that are available on Instantflix, a video streaming service that is free with your library card. Join us at 3 p.m. in the library auditorium to watch a few of the films, or stay to watch them all.
Throughout the day, you’ll be able to visit our many booths to engage with and learn about technology and digital library services. London Drugs will be demonstrating the latest tech tools, gadgets and toys. Douglas College will also be here, demonstrating its incredible 3-D printer.
Check out library resources like PressReader/PressDisplay, OneClickdigital, Zinio and Instantflix to learn how to access digital library content such as eBooks, eNewspapers, eMagazines and online films. Library staff will be on hand to show you how to access Lynda.com for online technology classes, use Ancestry.ca to learn about your family history and use Rocket Languages to learn or improve your fluency in 12 languages. And remember all of these services are free with your library card.
Stop by the children’s booth to check out the amazing apps, online resources and homework help available to kids through the New Westminster Public Library.
