The free workshop will be held at 2 p.m. Aug. 17 in the library’s lower-level Yusunas Meeting Room, 309 Oak St.

Participants can learn about creating keywords, reading history, locating a library item, search saving, bookmarks, refining results and advanced searching, placing a hold, checking hold requests, logging into accounts, and checked out books. Laptops will be provided. Attendees also can bring laptops. Because of limited laptops, the devices are first-come, first-served. No registration is required.
