Denman and Muswellbrook branches of the Upper Hunter Library Network, along with thousands of communities across NSW, will be demonstrating their commitment to cyber safety, wellbeing and digital inclusion. 

Throughout the week Denman and Muswellbrook libraries are inviting you to visit your local library to add to their cyber safety wall with the tips and tricks you use to stay safe online. 

The Muswellbrook library will host a guest speaker from Legal Aid NSW on Monday, September 4, from 11am to present a talk on Cyber Safety for Older People, which will outline common on-line scams, how to identify them and provides ideas about how to avoid being scammed.  

It also covers how to report scams to authorities. 

Bookings are essential as numbers will be limited; contact the library on 6543 1913 to book your place. 

Both libraries will have activities for children and young adults during the week, including a colouring-in station featuring cyber safety and activity sheets to assist in learning about safe online behaviours. 

National eSmart Week is an initiative developed by the Alannah & Madeline Foundation, in partnership with the Telstra Foundation.

For more information or to reserve your place at the Cyber Safety for Older People event, contact Lauren Allan at the Muswellbrook Library on 6543 1913.
