Is your local library eSmart?

The eSmart Libraries Framework is a national cyber safety framework, designed to fully equip libraries, staff and library users with the skills they need for smart, safe and responsible use of digital technology. Most libraries either have or are working towards accreditation to enable them to promote these important messages and tips to their library communities.
