Terrebonne Parish Library is proud to partner with Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) from AARP to offer a new series of free technology classes aimed at empowering older adults with digital skills. These weekly sessions are part of the Senior Planet program from AARP, a nationally recognized initiative that helps older adults harness the power of technology to enrich their lives.

 

Classes will take place each Wednesday in July at 10:00 a.m. at the Terrebonne Parish Main Library. Designed with older adults in mind, these sessions will cover a wide range of topics—from selecting the right computer to using video chat, exploring artificial intelligence, and navigating smart TVs and streaming services.

 

“We’re excited to work with OATS and bring this incredible resource to our community,” said a representative from TPL. “Technology can open up a world of connection and convenience, and we want to help older adults feel confident and in control.”
