Pine River Library to host virtual essentials program for seniors

Pine River Library will host a new program to help older adults in La Plata County navigate the world of technology from 10 to 11:15 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning Feb. 23.

In partnership with Senior Planet, a national nonprofit that harnesses technology to change the way older Americans age, the library will offer a free five-week “Virtual Essentials” program for those 60 years and older.

Class topics will include: all things Zoom, protecting personal information online, online shopping, online health resources, telemedicine, mindfulness, introduction to social media, how to spot fake news, messaging apps and drones.

All sessions will be run via Zoom. The library is available to assist with getting started with Zoom.
