Q. What if I don’t have a computer?
Not to worry! If you do not have a computer of your own, there are places you can go. First, you may want to go to your local library and use a public computer. Second, if a relative or close friend has a computer, ask if you can use it. Or simply visit the JKC or WWC libraries during hours of operation. Our labs are available to you!
