Library workshop resources
A library digital literacy workshop built around before-click confidence.
A useful library workshop does not need to teach every setting on every device. It can teach a repeatable habit: pause, check the source, avoid risky shortcuts, and ask for help before clicking.
No new apps. No password sharing. Bank-grade checkout security through Stripe. Cancel anytime.

A simple session structure
Start with three examples: a package text, a fake virus pop-up, and a password reset email. For each one, ask what the message wants the person to do quickly, then practice the safer path.
Take-home language
Sample blurb: 'When a message asks you to act fast, let that be the clue to slow down. Do not click from the message. Open the account yourself or ask Emily at Lumaneta for a plain-English second look.'
Keep the promise realistic
The goal is not to make every attendee a security expert. It is to make the next suspicious message feel less lonely and give people a safe first move.
What Emily writes back
A useful answer you can reread.
Emily gives practical steps in plain English. If the question involves a suspicious link, password, payment, or account access, she starts with the safest next move.
Subject: Is this message safe?
From: Emily at Lumaneta
Hi Mary,
I would not click that link. The urgent wording is meant to make you move fast, and the sender address does not match the company it claims to be from.
- Leave the message alone for now.
- Open the account yourself from the official website.
- If there is no alert there, delete the message.
You are not in trouble. You did the right thing by pausing first.
