The week commencing 20th October 2025 is Get Online Week. As a registered Digital Inclusion Hub, Redruth Library & Information Service will be holding a Drop-In event on October 20th from 10am – 4pm.
‘Redruth Library are delighted to be a part of this national event, aimed at encouraging reluctant individuals to take a first step to experience the online world.’ said Charlotte Williams, Redruth Town Clerk.
The overarching theme of the event will be ‘Try One Thing’ and attendees will be able to take part in numerous activities, including playing a game or puzzle, taking a digital photograph, connecting with friends and family, watching a ‘how-to’ video on YouTube, listening to music, or completing a QR code treasure hunt to win a prize.
If attendees have their own device, but don’t know how to use it, they are invited to bring it in for a ‘get to know your device’ session with a member of the team.
NHS England will also be in attendance to demonstrate the NHS App, how to use it and the benefits.
‘The session will be friendly and informal, helping to demystify the digital world by starting with fun activities. No experience with technology is necessary, and there will be free tea and cake!’ said Jolene Turner, Senior Library Officer at Redruth Library.
