March Digital Literacy Newsletter
Spring is in the air, bringing warmer temperatures and plenty of sunshine. After enduring so much lake-effect snow and chilly weather for the past couple months, I’m more than ready for a change!
This month, I’ll be working with some new locations to broaden our impact in the communities we serve. Some of the new location we are looking into are the Charlotte Branch Library, Greece Public Library, Rush Public Library, and Scottsville Free Library. Stay tuned for updates!
As a reminder, I would like to let you know of the the importance of completing the customer interaction forms. Literacy Rochester is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. Reporting how and who we serve tracks the effectiveness of our work in the community and demonstrates the need for our services. It also helps us apply for funding for the program. Please remember to complete a form for every customer you assist. We truly appreciate it!
Digital Literacy Workshop:
Our Digital Literacy Workshop page has a fresh new look, thanks to our Communications Manager, Ashley! Be sure to check it out. More workshop have been added for this year and I’ll be regularly adding new ones as I work to expand our partner sites and explore new opportunities.
In-Service:
Our next in-service training is scheduled for Wednesday March 12th from 5:30pm – 7:30pm. It will be held in person at Literacy Rochester. Please RSVP so I know how many volunteers will be attending.
As a group, we will take a detailed look at the Customer Resources, evaluating what is useful, what isn’t, and whether any updates or additions are needed. Additionally, we will explore some Monroe County resources if we have time. Whether you are a new or experienced volunteer, Literacy Rochester is committed to ensuring you have the valuable information needed to assist customers effectively.
