Learning how to install apps - including the Service NSW app required to sign in at many venues - will be the first in a series of "Discover more ... technology" workshops at the library this year.
The workshop will be held on Thursday, February 25 from 10.30am to noon and will include a presentation followed by a 30-minute question and answer session.

Participants need to bring their own smartphone or tablet, as well as any passwords required to access their device.
Library services manager Patou Clerc said increased reliance on technology has been another consequence of COVID-19.
"Whether it's scanning QR codes at a cafe or video-calling family and friends, technology has become an important part of our daily lives," she said.
"However, not everyone is on the same level when it comes to using technology, so our workshops aim to bridge the digital divide in a friendly, informal setting."
Designed for beginners, the technology workshops will be held each month and will cover topics including opening an email account, shopping online, Facebook, video calling and more.
Spaces are limited and bookings are essential. To book, call 6333 6281.
