Remote Help from Lloyd the Geek

Heather Lloyd, Lloyd the Geek, is still giving computer / laptop / tablet assistance to patrons on the second Tuesday of each month.  Call the Library (518-758-9321) to register.  Heather will contact you to help you put TeamViewer, a free app, on your device.  Then she will be able to access your device remotely, troubleshoot and fix any problems you may be having.  While she is working, she can explain what she is doing, and you will be able discuss the issue with her. All this from the comfort of your home!  So, call to register for one of the 3 forty-five minute sessions available each month.  This is a free service.  Heather volunteers her time and expertise each month.
