Nov 9, 2020 | 1:31 PM

PRINCE GEORGE–Learning how to be good digital citizens, that is what a program hosted by the Prince George Public Library (PGPL) aims to do.

Smart Choices Online will focus on privacy, etiquette, internet safety and using the internet effectively. The program will take place Tuesday night (Nov.10) via Zoom from 6:30-7:15 p.m.

“Virtual interactions and experiences have become more important than ever to people of all ages in the era of COVID-19, but it is important to have the skills to ensure these interactions happen safely and kindly for everyone.”– Larissa Clotildes, Library Assistant – Youth Services

The program is open to those ages 5-19, and will run in two concurrent sessions. A release by the Library says that once everyone joins the Zoom, participants will be separated into two different groups based on age.

Participants don’t need to register in advance for the program. PGPL is inviting those 10-18 years old to relax and unwind as Teen Librarian Chris Knapp offers strategies for coping with internet fatigue, next week on Tuesday, Nov.17.
