MCLS Wants to Excel Your Year

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – A major component of literacy in the 21st Century is digital literacy.

Muskingum County Library System Digital Skills Assistant Librarian Kylie Bell announced a training session that will be teaching Excel, which is a basic software program offered by Microsoft. 

“We are doing a program called Excel Your Year. A Microsoft Excel class tomorrow, December 23rd, at 4 p.m. at the New Concord Branch Library, where we are going to be working to create a fun spreadsheet, where you can track your goals, habits and ideas for 2026,” Bell said.

The program is an intermediate level class geared for people who are looking to get back into Excel. Digital literacy is becoming a vital component in the way literacy is being taught to children as well as the way adults live their everyday lives. 

“The Muskingum County Library System offers a myriad of digital skills classes for both beginner and advanced to help strengthen the digital skills and technology classes within the county. We help with a bunch of different software from PowerPoint, Excel, Word, to your more specific ones like Canva,” Bell said.

Registration is requested for the hour-and-a-half, Excel Your Year session. But if you can’t make the class or need additional help learning these digital skills, you can call the library to schedule a personal appointment.
