BUDDING writers are being urged to let computing skills free their creative talents.

Durham County Council's Clayport Library is running a free course to help people who feel held back by their writing.

Called Learn Computing and Get Better at Writing, the ten-week course will run on Mondays, from 7pm to 9pm, and Tuesdays, from 9.30am to 11.30am, starting this week.

Participants will be able to improve their English, and learn computing skills to produce better letters or CVs.

Anyone interested in taking part is asked to visit the library's digital media suite, or call 0191-386 4003.
