The David Bohnett Cyber Center
The LOFT's David Bohnett Cybercenter, complete with six workstations, is located in The LOFT's Library, and is open during normal LOFT hours. The David Bohnett Cybercenter maintains full MS Office support, WiFi connection (for you laptop carries, too), and a host of programs you can use. Have a question? No problem, one of our trained Cybercenter/Librarians can show you.
The LOFT will also be offering classes on everything from Photoshop to PowerPoint, so you can improve your computer skills, and add to your skill sets.
The David Bohnett Cyber Center has been made possible by a grant from The David Bohnett Foundation. Located in cities throughout the U.S., they offer free access to the Internet and computer classes for the traditionally underserved LGBT community. The CyberCenters also serve as a hub for educational opportunities for seniors and youth.
The first CyberCenter was opened in 1998 at the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center. Its mission of providing software training, classes and Internet access inside a comfortable, informal environment proved so successful that it served as a blueprint for all CyberCenters around the nation.
In 2004, the David Bohnett Foundation invested more than $350,000 to "refresh" all 18 existing CyberCenters with state-of-the-art IBM technology, including the latest in software and hardware design. Most CyberCenters are located inside an LGBT community center that serves the local area where they are located.
