FREE courses are on offer at Marlborough library in a bid to help people get the best use out of the Wiltshire libraries' on-line service.

As well as providing a book lending service and reference facilities the Marlborough library has a bank of computers for its users' benefit.

A library spokesman said many library users who do not have computers at home are either unaware that they can use the Internet facilities at most of Wiltshire's libraries or are hesitant to take advantage of them because they do not know how to use them effectively.

On May 14 and 21 the library, in the High Street, will be offering free Internet taster sessions.

They will be available on both days from 1.30pm to 2.30pm; from 2.30pm to 3.30pm and from 3.30pm to 4.30pm.

For more information or to apply for a place on the taster sessions contact the library on (01672) 512663.
