Welcome to Hope Library's Kids' Page!

(Click here for upcoming program and movie announcements.)

Before you explore the Web, we have a few safety tips...

1. Never give your name, address, phone number, school address or parent's work number to anyone you meet "on-line".

2. Don't arrange to meet anyone you meet on-line unless you have your parents' permission and then only meet them in a public place WITH an adult you can trust.

3. Always tell an adult you trust if something on-line scares you or if you find something you don't understand.

4. Sometimes people create Web Sites that may have information that is not reliable or true. All of the sites we have included have been checked by a staff member or a reliable source.
