Weekly DigiSpreekuur – Free Digital Help at Lisse Library
In today’s digital age, almost everything is connected to technology. As a result, having support to use devices with confidence is more important than ever. Fortunately, the DigiSpreekuur at Lisse Library provides exactly that. Every Thursday afternoon, you can walk in for free digital help with your computer, smartphone, tablet, or e-reader. Whether you are a local resident, an expat settling in, or even a visitor spending time in the heart of the Bollenstreek, this service helps you manage your digital needs with ease and reassurance.
What is DigiSpreekuur?
DigiSpreekuur translates to “digital consultation hour.” In practice, it means a welcoming weekly drop-in session where anyone can ask questions about technology. Because it is run by Bibliotheek Bollenstreek, the program is offered at several library branches, including Lisse. At each session, skilled volunteers provide guidance to people of all ages and levels of experience. Consequently, even those who feel insecure about technology quickly gain more confidence and independence.
Why Digital Help Matters in Lisse
Although technology makes daily life easier, it is not always simple to use. For instance, sending an email attachment, downloading an e-book, or installing an app can feel confusing if you haven’t done it before. Therefore, the DigiSpreekuur team in Lisse is here to help. They not only solve your immediate questions but also share useful tips that empower you to continue learning on your own. Moreover, because Lisse is a vibrant town famous for its flower fields and cultural life, staying digitally connected means you can more easily participate in everything the community has to offer.
When and Where
The DigiSpreekuur at Lisse Library takes place every Thursday from 14:00 to 16:00 at Koninginneweg 79A in the center of Lisse.
