Digital champions will bolster online skills
During Get Online Week, which started on Monday and runs until Sunday, residents are being encouraged to find out for themselves that getting the most out of the internet can be easy and fun.
Throughout the year, volunteer digital champions are helping out in libraries around the county, including Amble and Rothbury, and there are plans afoot to recruit more champions in other libraries around Northumberland.

As part of the initiative, digital champions are available to assist at Amble Library (by appointment, ask at library or call 01665 710419) or Rothbury Library (by appointment, ask at library or call 01669 620428 to book a slot).
