During the month of August, the National Library Board is holding its annual Let’s be S.U.R.E. together! series of free online and in-person programmes and pop-up displays to provide parents and families with the tools to make informed decisions in an interconnected world.
A key part of the message of Let’s be S.U.R.E. together! is to be more discerning when consuming information online by making use of the four S.U.R.E. concepts– Source, Understand, Research, Evaluate.
Here are some key programmes and displays of this year’s Let’s be S.U.R.E. together! series by the National Library Board.
