Digital Drop-Ins

Digital drop-ins provide an opportunity for you to come along with any questions, queries or problems you have relating to computers, tablets, getting online and so on. No booking is necessary - just turn up on the day. Please bring as much information about your query with you and if you have a portable device you need help with, e.g tablet or laptop, please bring that along if possible. Drop-ins are held at the following times:

  • Barry Library: Mondays 10am - 12pm
  • Dinas Powys Library: Mondays 10am - 1pm
