The technology center is in the Grafton County Senior Citizens Council building in downtown Lebanon, on the corner opposite the Senior Center at 10 Campbell Street just off the green. The center is open for walk-ins 9am-4:30pm, Monday through Friday, free parking is available, it's on the bus route, and it is open to everyone. The computer lab can be used for free by anyone who wants to use a computer with a high-speed Internet connection for web surfing, emailing, online learning, and more. The technology center is staffed by helpful volunteers who are there to help those who are new computers and the Internet get started, and to help those who are more advanced but need some help with what they want to do. The current staffing schedule at the Technology Center is as follows: Wednesdays 9:30am - noon Thursdays 9am - noon Fridays 10am - noon At other times there will be no staff member there, but you are free to use the facility. We're seeking additional adult and student volunteers who will help community members using the computer lab. Please see the ValleyNet listing at the ValleyNet Volunteer website for more information about these volunteer opportunities. Here's a link to a Google map to the CTC at 10 Campbell Street in Lebanon.

They also need at least 4 wood pallets for their first compost bin. If you can help them out, visit their listing page on the UVME website.
