Adult Computer Classes

The Park Ridge Public Library offers a variety of computer classes. All classes are free and require experience using a mouse.

Classes fill up quickly and space is limited. Please phone the Reference Desk at
(847) 720-3230 to register for these classes or click here to register online. In person and telephone registration for one month's classes begins on the 1st of the previous month. For example, you can sign up by phone or in person for March classes on Feb. 1st. Online registration begins on the 2nd of the previous month.

If the class you wish to attend is full, you may phone Reference the morning of a class to see if there have been any cancellations because we do not have waiting lists. If you live nearby, you can also stop in the day of the class to see if there is someone who doesn't show up. We only hold the seats for a few minutes.

Of course, please phone Reference if you must cancel so that someone else may attend in your place. Thank you!

You might also want to try LearningExpress Library which provides online computer skills in all the Microsoft Office products. You need to register and use your Park Ridge Library Card number as your username.
