That's dedication!!

The instructors who volunteer to teach the computer classes for seniors at the Fort Smith Public Library have always been a dedicated group. This past week, David Scherrey, who teaches the Introduction to the Internet classes for seniors demonstrated just how dedicated when he managed to teach his classes with one hand. His right arm was in a sling! The classroom was packed, every computer occupied, and there was a screen full of useful links to visit and explore and it seemed like everyone was having fun and enjoying learning.

We appreciate all the instructors, assistant instructors, coaches and especially the participants who help their neighbor at the next computer accomplish something new that they've never done before. We always hope that students will advance into coaching and on up the chain. All it takes is a willingness to help and a little dedication.
