Summer is right around the corner! We’ll be taking a little break in tech programming at the end of May as we reset for Summer programming. We’ve got some exciting things in the works – we’ll be debuting a multi-session Summer workshop on maintaining a personal archive at Tredyffrin Library. Sessions will include learning to use the library’s photo scanner, organizing files and photos on your devices, and other considerations for your physical and digital file / photo collections. Stay tuned for more info!
