Pembrokeshire Libraries will be hosting a series of sessions this spring to support a new project by RNIB Cymru. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The ‘Online Today’ project aims to support people with sensory loss to gain and develop skills, allowing them to use technology and the internet with confidence. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The sessions at local libraries will give people the opportunity get help with an existing device or try some new technology, and learn more about how those technologies can help someone with sight or hearing problems. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Each 45 minute session is a one-to-one consultation with a member of the RNIB Cymru team, and booking in advance is essential. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
