Click Shetland

Drop in to the library on Tuesday mornings from 10.00 am - 11.00 am.

Support for using computers and Click Shetland sessions.

Need some extra help using computers and the internet?

Assistance from Library staff is free, and aims to help folk who are inexperienced with ICT - or are just having trouble with something and need a little advice.
All the staff in the Library have good basic ICT skills and will be happy to help with queries at any time.
For a little more time with a member of staff, come along to our 'Click Shetland' drop in session every Tuesday. It runs from 10 am to 11 am in the Activity Room, up the stair, opposite the 'Book Nook'. If you need help with a particular issue, e.g. smartphone settings, please tell us in advance and we will try to arrange for you to see a staff member with a particular interest in that area.
If you can't come to the regular Click drop-in, you can phone us on 01595 743868 to arrange an individual appointment.
We can also put you in touch with a volunteer who can advise you on online banking.
Library staff can help you with most standard ICT tasks. They are not experts but can also direct you towards books, courses and online help if you need more advanced tuition.
Our computers and wifi are free to use - more information on our computer services page.

When is Lego Club?
Mondays (Term Time)
Activity Room
6.00 pm - 7.00 pm

Who can come to Lego Club?
Lego has huge appeal across all age groups. We like families to join in and encourage grown-ups to stay for the session to help out.
Children under 8 must be with an adult throughout the session.

What happens at Lego Club?
Every week we have a theme and anything you make will be photographed and displayed for one week, but it needs to be taken apart after that for the next great build! You can even suggest themes for future events! For the last part of the session we will tidy and sort out the Lego.

Are there quiet areas at Lego Club?
Lego Club is full of energy. The main area is in the Activity Room. We also have a colouring table in the kid’s area and there is a further table in there for kids who need a bit of a quieter space to enjoy Lego. We ask that all of our Lego Clubbers stay in these areas of the library.

I'm not participating with Lego Club can I still study in the library?
We have study spaces in The Shetland Room and you can use the Computer Room on the Ground Floor too. If you are not too put off by the fun of Lego club there are study areas upstairs, but it will be noisier as usual from 6pm-7.00pm

Do we need to sign up?
Lego Club is drop-in but please note:
The capacity for Lego Club is now capped at 20 people - this is for fire safety and of people in the building. We ask you to sign in and out too for this same reason.
Once the capacity is reached, we will display information clearly.

We recognise the popularity of Lego club and want to ensure we can provide it safely. We recognise that it may mean disappointment on busy evenings and apologise in advance.
We will be reviewing this over the next few weeks and will keep Lego Club participants updated on any changes we make.

Lego Club is not on during the School Holidays.
