Internet Safety
The Internet is a powerful tool for communication and life-long learning. The Internet is also unregulated, providing access to ideas, information and images that may be inappropriate for your child or teen. Oakville Public Library encourages parents and guardians to become familiar with the Internet and the risks involved in its use.
Please visit the following websites for detailed information on how you can help educate your child about online safety.
