One-on-One Tutorials
The Glenview Public Library also offers private tutorials on the subjects taught in our Internet Workshops. You choose the subject covered by the tutorial and a preferred time. Our workshop coordinator will call and work out a time for you to meet with an instructor. There is a limit of one tutorial per patron per month. Every effort will be made to schedule tutorials within three weeks of the request. The needs of the Adult Services Department, however, will determine the availability of instructors and times. GPL does not offer tutorials on software, such as Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. If you would like to sign up for one-on-one instruction on how to search the Internet or use one of the library databases, please fill in our Internet Tutorial Request Form.
