Teach and Learn with WiscNet: Filtering - Appleton
Thursday, September 26, 2019,  9:30 AM to 12:00 PM
Appleton Public Library

Love them or hate them, nearly everyone needs a filter on their network. And with so many options on the market – not to mention different solutions, features, pros and cons – there's a lot to learn and know.

Join Heidi and Felicia from WiscNet to talk and listen about all things filtering. (Please pass this on to anyone else in your organization who may also be interested!) They'll make time for the important stuff, and together we'll access the deep value of what it means to be a WiscNet member: teaching, learning from, connecting to one another.

​Webinar

Most American communities are aging, and libraries are in a position to identify opportunities to meet the needs of older adults in their communities. Your library can help anticipate the growing technological needs of mature audiences, so they can better understand the digital landscape.
 
In this 60-minute webinar, you’ll learn how you can increase opportunities for older adults in your community to learn the latest gadgets, obtain government resources and services, develop personal awareness, and actively participate with accessible gaming equipment. Discover how your library will remain a vital point for seniors who wish to engage more deeply with the world around them.
