Are you feeling a bit lost in the digital age? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. In today’s fast-paced world, staying connected and protected online is more important than ever, but it can also be overwhelming, especially for those who aren’t as tech-savvy. That’s why we’re excited to announce an upcoming event at the Richards Free Library that aims to demystify the digital landscape and empower adults of all ages to navigate it with confidence.

Hosted in collaboration with AARP, this event is designed to provide valuable insights and practical tips for safeguarding your identity and privacy online.

While the program is tailored with seniors in mind, we believe the information presented will be beneficial to adults of all ages, especially those who may feel intimidated or unsure about their digital literacy skills. If you find yourself struggling to keep up with the ever-changing technology landscape, this presentation is for you.

Jim Schultz and Dave DeBronkart are seasoned experts in the field, with a wealth of knowledge and experience to share. From understanding the importance of strong passwords to recognizing common online scams, they will cover essential topics in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring that everyone in attendance leaves with actionable takeaways.

Whether you’re new to the digital world or simply looking to enhance your online security practices, this presentation promises to be both informative and engaging. Don’t miss this opportunity to empower yourself and take control of your digital identity.

We understand that technology can be daunting, but with the right guidance and support, you can learn to navigate it with confidence. Join us at the Richards Free Library on May 29th and take the first step towards staying safe and connected in today’s digital age.
