TechBoomers
TechBoomers.com has tutorial courses for just about everything on the internet, and adds new ones all the time. You can learn at home, or visit the library on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month and do the tutorials there with a librarian at hand in case you need help.
Don’t have time to do a whole course? TechBoomers also has “Best of the Web” spotlights and “Tips and Tricks” sections.

In addition, you’ll learn how to do many useful things over the Internet, and — most importantly — how to keep yourself safe while using the Internet.
