The National Digital Equity Center (NDEC) and the Bangor Public Library will co-sponsor a free workshop, "Basic Internet Safety," on Tuesday, October 7 from 2:00-3:00 PM in the library's Computer Lab, taught by Nina Fearon, Digital Navigator for Penobscot County.

Staying safe online is essential in today’s world. This one-hour overview class teaches you how to keep your information and your devices safe while using the internet. Participants do not need their own device to participate, though you are welcome to bring one or to use one of the library's laptops.

All workshops are free of charge to Maine residents, but space is limited, so registration is required to attend. To register for all this class, fill out the form on the NDEC website or call Nina for assistance at (207) 825-2540.

The National Digital Equity Center provides communities at all levels the expertise needed to mobilize broadband technologies through digital inclusion, literacy efforts, education, resource planning, funding research, infrastructure leveraging and stakeholder engagement. NDEC provides digital skills training through 40+ classes on different subjects. Learn more at their website.
