Help & training

Need a hand?

Westminster Libraries can offer access to a wide range of training and help with computers and the Internet. You can use our Gateway to search for classes, attend courses in the libraries themselves, get quick 'taster sessions' or sign up for our online learning packages. We hope that you can find something here to suit your needs.
