The City of Port Townsend has been awarded a $6,000 Digital Skills Training grant from the Washington State Library. The grant is to be used in a two-part project at the Port Townsend Public Library to develop skills for digital literacy among youth and adults.
One part of the project teaches basic digital skills with tablet computers such as iPads. The second provides instruction in Windows-based computer programming and coding.
Participants learn to use digital technology to bring imagined projects to life. In the process they learn skills they can use in their personal, educational and career endeavors.
Librarians Keith Darrock and Kit Ward-Crixell teach the classes which run from January through April, 2015. Information is to be available soon on the library's website,
For more information, please contact the project manager, Keith Darrock at 390-4061 or kdarrock@cityofpt.us.
