THE DIGITAL LIBRARY

Walk into a City of PAE Library and you’ll be able to access

more technology than ever before.Technology now surrounds

us and is changing the way we live and work.You can use it,

wear it and play with it and most people own an average of

three internet-enabled devices. Schools are now focussing

on science, technology, engineering and maths through

their STEM program and more people are employed in tech-

related industries.

Libraries play an important role in this shift, giving customers

an opportunity to interact with many different types of

technology, arming them with the tools to do so and providing

them with life-long skills.

City of PAE Libraries is super excited to be hosting a free

session about virtual reality, where you can get hands-on with

the latest immersive technology. Discover the possibilities and

have your questions answered by our guest VR expert.

Port Adelaide Town Hall,Thursday 22 March, 12.30-2.30pm.
