Internet and Library Computer Assistance
 
Special Thanks to Industry Canada for funding this year's Community Access Program.

The Tweed Public Library is the Community Access Program site for Tweed. There are 5 computers which have access to the Internet. You can surf the web or connect to your email (web-based only). There are other programs (MS Word, MS Publisher, etc.) Users must sign a waiver form at the Circulation desk. Those under 18 must have a parent or guardian’s signature and children 10 and under must be with a parent or guardian to use the Internet in the Library.

What is CAP?

The Community Access Program (CAP) helps Canadians, wherever they live, take advantage of emerging opportunities in the new global knowledge-based economy. Under CAP, public locations like schools, libraries and community centres act as "on-ramps" to the Information Highway, and provide computer support and training.

CAP provides funds and resources to public locations to purchase computers as well as other electronic equipment and services, such as Internet access so that the public has affordable (and oftentimes free) access to the Internet and the World Wide Web.

As part of CAP, Industry Canada also funds the Community Access Program - Youth Initiative (CAP-YI), commonly referred to as the Youth Initiative. Participants (youth aged 15-30) work as interns at CAP Centres throughout Canada, helping individuals, community organizations and small businesses improve their knowledge and effective use of the Internet and related information technologies.

Specific activities include:

Delivering Internet training sessions;

Researching and developing Web sites;

Drafting publicity materials;

Organizing information fairs and special events;

Providing technical support to the CAP site.
