This session: Introduction to Messenger

How to install the Messenger app and send a message safely. There will be time to ask questions and practise.

What you need to bring:

  • Your charged device (or you may be able to access a Library device)
  • Your login and password details (for your eyes only!)
  • Yourself (no prior knowledge needed!)

How it works:

Each topic will start with a lesson ranging from 30 to 60 minutes followed by 1:1 help with some of our lovely library helpers.

We’ll provide a room, a public computer (if you need one) and some tea, coffee and snacks to keep it interesting!
