Delaware Libraries Introduce Digital Literacy Specialists Program

DOVER, Del. — The Delaware Libraries today announced the launch of a 10-week summer program aiming to support Delawareans on digital literacy.

The AmeriCorps Digital Literacy Specialists assist the public with computer and technology questions, including completing online applications, navigating websites, and building basic digital skills. As patrons become more comfortable, specialists can introduce them to the many free computer training programs and learning resources available through Delaware Libraries including in-person classes. This project is an initiative of the Division’s Social Innovation Team.

“Libraries are proud to expand their digital literacy specialist supports this summer with a presence in 21 Delaware Libraries,” said Dr. Annie Norman, State Librarian of Delaware. “The digital landscape is ever evolving, and the Delaware Libraries stands at the ready to help Delawareans navigate AI, software skills, social media concepts, and more.”

There is no appointment needed for a meeting or to ask a question to a Specialist.
The Specialists are trained to support many concepts, including:

Essential Software Skills
Personalized Assistance
Workplace Technology
AI – Understanding & Help
Basic Computer Skills & Classes
Social Media Help
Navigate Internet, Avoid Scams
Using Tech in Daily Life, Device Help
Learning Express, Northstar Certification
And Much More!
