The community is invited to the free educational presentation “Media Savvy,” which will help attendees learn how to use the internet more safely, from 7-8:30 p.m. May 7 at the Bud Werner Memorial Library in Steamboat Springs.

Guest speaker Julia Lowenthal, program director of COMMA in Steamboat, will explore what it means to be a “digital citizen” and stay safe in an increasingly digital world. The event, to be held in Library Hall, is presented by Steamboat Kids & Phones.

Lowenthal will examine a range of safety issues related to sexting, cyberbullying, catfishing, grooming and faulty social narratives that impact relationships. Participants can develop a stronger sense of how to maintain privacy and avoid risks by adopting simple protective measures and learning key principles of responsible online behavior.
