Scammers love to use the way our minds work against us, and the social media world gives them constant opportunities to find new targets for seemingly endless fraud.

This program will explore the brain and give you tools that you can use to identify deceptive tactics in today's information landscape. Protect yourself and those around you by learning about how the mechanisms of social media take advantage of the way humans think.

About the branch

The Southport Branch began in 1967 as a small storefront in the Madison Square Shopping Center. Following acquisition of a site for a larger facility, the new 15,700-square-foot library opened in 1974 on East Stop 11 Road. Even before the move occurred, a group of Perry Township residents demonstrated support by raising more than $5,000 to provide additional books for the new library.
