The Park Forest Public Library currently has access to Northstar Computer Classes through a grant from Age Options. You can either sign yourself up for an account or contact the Info Zone at 708-748-3731 x242 to have an account created for you. As part of our grant, we are tracking users who are 60+. If you sign up for your own account, please let the library know if you are 60+. Once your information is entered in the Northstar system, you will receive an email to set up your account password.
Using Northstar Computer Classes
- Go to the Park Forest Public Library's Northstar webpage.
- Log in with your email and password.
- Take an assessment test for the topic of your choice.
- The assessment will help you focus on the things you still need to learn. Don't guess on the assessment. If you don't know an answer, click "I Don't Know."
- Take the practice course at your own pace.
- Retake the assessment when you are done taking the practice course to see your progress.
- When you return to the Northstar website, you can login with your email address and password to pick up where you left off.
If you need help, ask a library staff member to assist you.
