If you are a senior citizen in need of assistance of going online “safely” to obtain good health information, the Geneseo Public Library can help. A 90-minute session, presented by Western Illinois University, will be offered on Wednesday, Nov. 12.
Information from the Library states: “Instructors form Western will focus on teaching the basic online health literacy skills. They’ll discuss the basic ideas of online health literacy, which online resources on health topics are safe to access, which online support groups you can access for health issues, and how to access your own personal health records.”
The 90-minute session is free to the public, but spots are limited for in-person training, so anyone interested is asked to call the library at 309-944-6452. Participants will be allowed to access a library computer after the class to put their skills to the test.
