A TECHNOLOGY suite in Darlington's main Crown Street library has been opened by Darlington Borough Council leader Councillor John Williams.

The facility provides library users with access to 24 new computers, which were funded by the New Opportunities Funding People Network and UK On-line initiatives.

The library will soon offer courses and workshops on subjects including "Computers for the Terrified", "Word" and the Internet.

Coun Williams opened the facility on Monday.
