In a collaborative effort to enhance digital access for residents, the Rushville Public Library and The Open Resource Tech Center have announced a partnership initiative. This collaboration will commence with a complimentary workshop focused on Chromebook usage, during which each attendee will receive a free laptop computer.

The workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, April 29, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. It will be held at the Rushville Public Library, located within the Love Community Center.

This introductory session aims to equip participants with fundamental digital skills. Instruction will cover the basics of the Chrome operating system and provide guidance on utilizing the new Chromebooks for essential online tasks. Significantly, every participant will receive a complimentary Chromebook laptop to retain following the workshop.

“We are thrilled to partner with The Open Resource Tech Center to bring this valuable opportunity to Rush County residents,” stated Library Director Nicki Kichoff. “Providing both the necessary tools and the knowledge to use them effectively is crucial for digital opportunity in our community.”

Due to the provision of complimentary hardware, workshop capacity is limited.

To facilitate broader community access, organizers respectfully request only one registration per household.

Advance registration is required to reserve a place and ensure a Chromebook is allocated. Interested individuals should register by calling The Open Resource Tech Center’s voicemail system at 765.251.8048. Please leave your full name and telephone number when registering.

This event represents a significant opportunity for residents to acquire both a modern computing device and the foundational skills for navigating the digital environment. Prompt registration is encouraged.
