Mahon Library launching ‘Tech Cafe’ program to help residents with device questions - KCBD.com
Getting stumped by your phone or tablet just got easier, thanks to Mahon Library's new "Tech Cafe" launching next week.
The Tech Cafe focuses on general device comfort and technical advice, not personal information tasks. You can't get help uploading a resume or filling out financial forms. No registration is required, just show up with your device.
For many Lubbock residents, especially those who find new tech intimidating, this means a chance to bridge the digital divide right here in town. Folks living near the library, from the Medical District to the Clapp Park area, can walk in for hands-on support. It directly empowers individuals struggling with everyday online tasks, making life a little less complicated.
In a city where staying connected often means navigating a screen, this initiative offers practical help right when people need it most.
