BLANCHARDVILLE — The Blanchardville Public Library, 208 Mason Street, will host a program “Children’s Online Awareness” at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 29.

The Wisconsin Bureau of Consumer Protection will discuss safe practices for children while accessing the internet. Children often have access to the internet at home, school, or even a friend’s house and they access the internet on a variety of different devices. 

Parents should be aware of their children’s online activities to help keep them safe. Topics will include online gaming, downloading apps, sharing photos, and clicking on links. Consumer protection will also discuss laws that give parents control over what information a business can collect on a child and how that information can be used.

Children are welcome — an activity will be provided.
