Photos, Movies & Music; Oh My! The list of things you can do at your local library just got longer! The Pickering Central Library has added its new iHelp service at the Central Library. iHelp is a brand new service desk that will act as a one-stop location for all of your digital needs. iHelp has computer terminals fully loaded with media editting software, such as Adobe Photoshop, Garage Band and Final Cut, so that clients can bring in their edit their own home videos, mix their own musical masterpieces, or scan and edit their photographs. Digital photo printing is also available! The iHelp desk will also allow clients to check out downloadable audiobooks to their own iPod, or check out a Library iPod pre-loaded with audiobooks. This new service centre, unique in public libraries, is aimed at removing the barriers to participation in the new information economy. According to CEO Cathy Grant, “The iHelp centre welcomes all clients – from teens with digital skills who cannot afford the software and hardware, to boomers with who have purchased their first digital camera and don’t have the skills to create and share their digital images. The iHelp centre is both a productivity centre and a learning centre for the entire community.” On Wednesday, June 10th at 10:30 a.m., please join Mayor Dave Ryan, Library Board members and Library staff in launching this new service for Pickering residents. Staff will be on hand to demonstrate iHelp programs and to show you how iHelp can help you! Who:
