Closing the Digital Divide at BPL

Library Assistant Dejah Murray at Celebrate Bloomfield! 2022

Library Assistant Dejah Murray has been working at BPL for the past year while also majoring in Computer Science in college. What she likes most is helping patrons get access to the services that they need. If people don’t have access to computers, printers, or fax/scan machines in their homes, they can use these for free at the library. Dejah believes that technology has become a necessity for completing even the simplest everyday tasks, so it's vital that everyone has access. She feels good about being able to close the digital divide, even just a little bit.


Her favorite online resource to use is one she discovered through BPL’s online classes webpage. Coursera is free and there are tons of self-paced courses to choose from. After taking Google’s IT Support Professional course through Coursera, she would definitely recommend it to people who want to increase their technical skills and develop better troubleshooting strategies.
