Looking for a book for my mom. She said she probably read the book in the late 60's to 70's. The book is fiction with a main character named Penelope who sets a computer to do all kinds of tasks.

Amy, what's the genre (which we need to add to the header/ topic title) - e.g., for kids, teens or adults? picture book or novel? science fiction, mystery, adventure, coming of age, romance, etc.?

How old is Penelope? What type of computer tasks? Is she a computer programmer? Location?
