Yes

Yes
How & why does this program meet the goals of the MLS?: 
The program I am proposing fits the goals of MLS by advancing our members texperiences to use more of our services. This is important to our member basis because certain members do not feel comfortable with technology and require extra assistance in using our digital library. This fits the mission and goals by expanding the knowledge of our members technology prowess. This is also a measure of retention for our current members and also to spark interest in others.

Connect to the Online World: Our community has access to current technology and digital resources as well as trained staff to help them use the resources effectively.
Why will this program be successful?: 
This program would tap into a source of members who are already having difficulty accessing out digital library.
