New Books About Being Online for the Children's Department

As part of our grant from the International Paper Foundation, we have added three new books to our Nonfiction collection in the Children's Department that deal with online safety.

In Smart Online Communication by Mary Lindeen, kids will learn about digital footprints, how what you post online is beyond your control once it is posted and how to avoid some common mistakes many people make with their online privacy.  It also discusses things like cyberbullying, phishing, spam and hacking.

Smartphone Safety by Eric Minton covers several important topics such as the importance of guarding your phone's password, when to make use of the GPS (and when to turn it off), using caution when posting pictures or videos and even what to do if you lose your phone.

Finally,  Tips for Good Social Networking by Ruth Bennett talks about what social networking is, why and how you might want to use it, how to build your network and how to maintain it.

Check out these and other books to safely get the most out of your online devices.
