Free smartphone & tablet classes at Auckland Libraries

Toby from Mairangi Bay

Hi Neighbours,

I hold regular free smartphone & tablet classes at Auckland Libraries. Do you know someone who got one of these for Christmas and has questions on how to work it?

Classes are held for both Apple & Android devices at various Auckland Libraries.

January 2019 class times for libraries on the North Shore are as follows:

Apple iPhones & iPads:
Sat 19 Jan 2pm (1 hour) at Takapuna library.
Fri 25 Jan 10:30am (1 hour) at East Coast Bays library (Browns Bay).


Android smartphones & tablets (Samsung, etc):
Sat 12 Jan 2pm (1 hour) at Takapuna library.
Fri 18 Jan 10:30am (1 hour) at East Coast Bays library (Browns Bay).

Bookings are not required, but seats are limited so please arrive early to avoid missing out.

Classes are interactive – you will be invited to ask questions – so each class is different and covers topics as requested by those attending.

I hold these classes as a fundraiser for Harbour Hospice. A gold coin donation (all proceeds to Harbour Hospice) is invited but is not required.

For more information, and class times for February and other Auckland locations (e.g. Orewa & Whangaparaoa), go to www.triplesweet.co.nz... and click on the section for the free classes at Auckland Libraries.

Please share this information with your friends, family, clubs or groups who may be interested in the classes.

See you there!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
