Stay Safe Online: Stop. Think. Connect.

Several workshops to be offered by Santa Cruz Public Libraries in October

The Santa Cruz Public Library System announced a series of cybersecurity workshops to be held at branch libraries and other county locations during National Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October.

Whether you are a business owner, a parent, a child, a teacher, a student, or a senior, YOU can have an impact on cybersecurity. By practicing strong and safe online habits, you can better protect your identity and the networks you use at home, at work, and anywhere you log on.

According to Library Director Susan Nemitz, “One of the most important roles for public libraries is helping people connect with the online world, and one of the most important aspects of that connection is safety and security.”

Join Library IT expert Lynne Sansevero in one of several cybersecurity workshops designed to help you connect online safely. These workshops are a partnership between the national STOP. THINK. CONNECT. initiative and the Santa Cruz Public Libraries. Our current classes are specifically tailored for Older Community Members, Teens, Tweens and their parents. One workshop, at the Live Oak Library will be bilingual, presented in English and Spanish.
