PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Berkshire Athenaeum, Pittsfield's public library, will be hosting the "Digital Literacy for All" course series starting Jan. 23 and continuing through March. 
 
All sessions will be held in the Athenaeum Room on the library's second floor.
 
The courses are free, and registration is not required. Attendees are invited to bring their own laptops, but a computer is not necessary to attend. Two attendees at each session will win a Chromebook, and all attendees will receive tech-related takeaways.
 
The courses include the following:
 
• Intro to email: 2 p.m. Monday, Jan. 23
• Intro to the internet: 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 10
• Intro to cybersecurity: 10 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28
• Intro to iPhones and iPads: 2 p.m. Thursday, March 9
• Intro to video chat (Zoom): 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 15
 
The courses are funded through a grant from AT&T and the Public Library Association. "Our goal in offering these courses is to help people develop critical computer skills, and to put these skills into practice," said Technology Engagement Librarian Sydney Anderson.
 
The library is open 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. Monday – Thursday; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Friday; and 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Saturday and is located at 1 Wendell Ave.
