Gen Z tech help coming to City libraries

News Update 19 June 2025

The City of South Perth Libraries is launching a free digital support program at South Perth and Manning libraries that connects tech-savvy young people with older residents keen to grow their digital skills. 

Starting in August, students from Wesley College and Aquinas College will be available at weekly drop-in sessions to help seniors navigate their technology – from setting up an email to using apps to connect with family and friends. 

No question is too small, and no tech experience is necessary. Whether you’re learning to navigate a smartphone or want help with podcasts, these friendly student mentors will be there to assist. 

South Perth Library 
Mondays from 3.45–4.45pm 28 July, 4 August, 11 August, 18 August, 1 September, 8 September 2025

Manning Library 
Wednesdays from 3.45–4.45pm 
30 July, 6 August, 13 August, 20 August, 27 August, 3 September, 10 September 2025

No bookings are required – just come along with your device and your questions.
