TECHNOPHOBES unfamiliar with computers can get a helping hand at Brierley Hill library, with the launch of the information buddy.

Two volunteer buddies have taken up the role at the town library, specifically to help people find information on the internet.

The volunteers will be available every Friday morning.

Councillor David Simms, cabinet member for housing, libraries and adult learning, said: “These volunteers are a brilliant asset to our libraries. A lot of very useful information is held online, and the information buddies are giving everyone the opportunity to access it.”
