Look no further than the thoughtful, smart students who are volunteering at the new Teen Tech Help at the Lafayette Library and Learning Center every Saturday from noon to 2 p.m. in the Homework Center.
Smart phones, laptops, e-readers, MP3 players, you name it, these teenagers can answer almost any question and solve technology challenges, all for a price that can't be beat: free.
Talented teens like brothers Alexander and John Chen, who are going to be a freshman and junior respectively at Miramonte High School, along with the other teen helpers offer friendly one-on-one instruction and assistance, according to Patrick Brogran, teen services library assistant. He adds that the program is modeled after the one at the Concord library, which has seen a lot of success.
Alexander says customers are generally older, not surprising since Brogan spread news of the complimentary service to local retirement homes, but the program is open to anyone who needs technology help. From the front entrance on Mt. Diablo Boulevard, the Homework Center is on the right hand side of the building. Just drop in with your device, no appointment needed. C. Tyson.
