Get Online Week
Coventry Libraries are hosting events across Coventry this year for Get Online Week, the UK’s biggest annual digital inclusion campaign, run by Good Things Foundation
During the week of 14 - 20 October, we will be hosting free digital skills events to help more people to get online safely, confidently, and affordably.
Why is Get Online Week important?

- 2.9 billion people are digitally excluded worldwide (ITU, 2021)
- 10.2 million people lack the basic digital skills needed to use the internet (Lloyds Consumer Digital Index, 2022)
- 6.9 million people in the UK will remain digitally excluded if nothing is done to help them (Cebr, 2018)
- 1 in 5 people have stopped using products or services because they’re only available online
- Three quarters of people would feel cut off from society if they didn’t have access to the internet
