I’ll be leading an introduction and training session on Facebook and Twitter at the Marysville Public Library on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. We’ll be using the library’s computers to learn about the basics of creating a Facebook or Twitter account, what the difference is between them, and how to stay safe and keep your personal information private.

Facebook is seeing its fastest growth lately among older users, including seniors. The potential of reconnecting with old friends and neighbors as well as staying in touch with what your grown children and grandchildren are up to is very appealing. Come learn how to get started with Facebook and get started with social media!

We’ll also look at Twitter and its uses, both personally and professionally. No previous experience is needed, and the session is free. Because there are a limited number of computers, the class is limited to ten. For more information, call the Marysville Library at (810) 364-9493.
