"Our library is recognised through the eSmart Libraries Program as being equipped to support our customers to use technology in a smart, safe and responsible way.
"Making these webinars available is a wonderful way to ensure people can use the internet more effectively, spot scams, and be more confident in shopping online and using Facebook."
The webinars are targeted at people aged 55 and over, and four popular topics will be covered, including:
- All you need to know about data and public Wi-Fi
- Can you spot a scam?
- Safer online shopping and banking
- Staying safe on Facebook.
