“Our seniors are such a valued and integral part of the City of Wanneroo, contributing to the City’s community spirit and social fabric,” she said.
Be Connected sessions will cover topics such as searching for information and using email, shopping online, using social media and smartphones.
The free coffee sessions will take place at Girrawheen Library on November 12 from 1.30pm to 2.30pm, Yanchep/Two Rocks Library on November 13 from 10am to 11am, Clarkson Library on November 13 from 1.30pm to 2.30pm and Wanneroo Library on November 14 from 1.30pm to 2.30pm.
