Google’s “Small Solves” Youtube series of 2-3 minute videos can help you get your business online, communicate with others remotely and improve your discoverability.
These videos are part of the Grow With Google campaign and were referenced in Oak Bluff’s Library’s Libraries Lead classes in July 2020, a grant program offered by Google and PLA (Public Library Association).
In summer 2020, the library hosted online classes using Digital Learn Resources, in a partnership with Grow with Google and Public Library Association’s Libraries Lead grant. That grant resulted in added access for patrons with public WIFI outside of the library building and helped the library purchase Chromebooks for circulation.
The library continues to offer Grow with Google workshops and is considered an official partner. Please see our monthly calendar for classes.
