17, 7:00 pm: Embrace your child's Internet World: A Hands-on Workshop for Parents

This hands-on workshop goes beyond the average computer warnings. You'll walk away knowing how to track where your kids have been online, how to improve their self-protection and critical thinking skills, and so much more. Due to this hands on approach, space will be limited by the finite number of computers available, while free, reservations are required.
