Digital Navigators Program Launches in Kingston Library: Empowering Individuals with Technology Assistance

Kingston Library’s Temporary Location Opens with Digital Navigators Program

The Kingston Library recently opened its new temporary location at 61 Crown St. on October 30, 2023. As part of the “Digital Navigators of the Hudson Valley” program, several Mid-Hudson libraries are providing free technological assistance to those in need. The program features trained guides called digital navigators who work in member libraries to offer support with various tasks.

In Ulster County, five libraries are participating in the program: Kingston Library, Elting Memorial Library, Plattekill Library, Town of Ulster Public Library, and Woodstock Public Library. These digital navigators are available to assist with using electronic devices, finding free or low-cost internet service, completing online job applications, applying for services, accessing educational resources, signing up for free phone programs, and managing online bill payments.

In Dutchess County, digital navigators are also available at Red Hook Library. Individuals can visit hvconnected.org for a comprehensive list of libraries and organizations offering digital navigators in the region. This program is an excellent resource for those who need help navigating the digital world and staying connected in today’s fast-paced society.
