Tech Help Policy

Schertz Public Library offers Tech Help programs in which the public can ask questions and get information on using computers and technology.

  • Library electronic services, such as Kanopy, Niche Academy, TexShare Databases, and more 
  • Online job applications and online resumes 
  • Word processing software, such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs.

We are NOT able to: 


  • Handle transactional tasks or forms, such as bank transfers, income taxes, or online purchases
  • Perform computer maintenance, such as backing up your files, clearing space, or scanning for viruses
