By Ben Forrest
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
EXETER The Exeter and
Kirkton libraries are offering free
computer lessons for those who
don t know how to use them or
want to learn more about them.
Taught by Community Access
Program (CAP) instructor Mikay-
la Keller, the lessons can convey
knowledge that is basic before
moving to things that are more
complex.
Anything from turning on the
computer to e-mail or
how to make a web-
site, Keller said.
Keller added the les-
sons began in early
November and the re-
sponse has been good
so far.
A student at South
Huron District High
School, Keller said she
became involved in
the program because
she enjoys teaching
people and that the
experience has been
enjoyable.
Keller said those in-
terested can arrange
