LOCAL people have been using their neighbourhood library to brush up on their computer skills.
And eight learners had their hard work recognised at an awards ceremony at Arbroath Library on Monday.
The course, certified by the British Computer Society, was the first of its kind to be delivered in an Angus library and was presented in partne
rship with the council's training services division which provided tutors for the course.
With the success of the pilot project at Arbroath, the intention is now to roll it out to all libraries in the county.
Congratulating those who completed the course on their achievement, convener of the council's neighbourhood services committee Councillor Jim Millar said: "Learning centres, for use by library members have been set up in all Angus libraries as part of Angus Council's commitment to lifelong learning.
"The council now intends to develop the range and level of courses and learning opportunities on offer at libraries over the coming year."
The funding for the pilot came from the Individual Learning Account (ILA) Scotland.
For more information on ILA or any of the learning opportunities available through Angus libraries visit the section on learning centres at the Council's A-Z www.angus.gov.uk/services or ask at your local library.
