does ur computer need to have photoshop to join this workshop?
coz, i don't... but, i'm still interested...

Sarah: Unless otherwise stated, all library programs are free. This one's free. :)
Tasfia: Your computer doesn't need Photoshop to join (the workshop is held in one of TRL's learning centres, which have all the necessary software). As for the age requirement, you'd have to call the branch and ask.

Tasfia: I've been in contact with the workshop organizers and they are OK with 12-13 as well. So go ahead and give them a call if you're interested. :)

Hey Jenny Chau, I checked RAMP for the youth programs available this summer, and it seems it is only offered at the Toronto Reference Library. This may be because as Alan H. mentioned earlier, there is a special center for computers with the programs at that branch. But I do hope the workshop will extend to other branches in the future!

Is there going to be a music production program
this summer?

Wayne: Check the events listing at http://programs.torontopubliclibrary.ca/listings/ramp/libraryprograms/current.html - I know Malvern is doing an urban music workshop in August, not sure about other locations.

Aww..unfortunately it's a bit too far. It it was at North York Central, I could have registered for sure! Teens living in downtown must be really lucky. Anyways, I hope there's going to be similar programs later on at the branch closer to me. That would be great.

I just found out that there is going to be a teen trivia challenge for teens at North York Central. I'm looking forward to it.

Oh, is there a sign up fee for Digital Design Basics?
Posted by: kiu | July 20, 2009 at 04:47 AM
There is no sign up fee. As for the class being full, they do have a limited amount of space available and it is possible they filled quickly after I posted the announcement!
