Welcome to the Scranton Public Library's Mouse Tutorial

Let's have fun and at the same time learn how to use a mouse
by clicking on the underlined numbers.   
Left mouse button



  1. Hold the sides of the mouse between your thumb on one side of the mouse and ring and little fingers on the other side.
  2. Rest your wrist on the table or mouse pad.
  3. Use your thumb and fingers to move the pointing arrow on the underlined "1" below. 
  4. When the pointer becomes a pointing finger:
    • Hold the mouse still.
    • Lightly and quickly click the mouse button with your index finger.
      • If your mouse has more than one button, click the left Left mouse button mouse button with your index finger.
    • Don't get discouraged! Keep trying!
