Program Description: 
Recent survey data in Oklahoma reveals that 1 in 5 Oklahoma students are bullied while at school, and 14% of Oklahoma students experience cyber-bullying in digital space. Please join us at the Downtown library for an evening of “Bullying Prevention” practices appropriate for the family, school and community. Representatives from the Metropolitan Library System, Oklahoma State Department of Education, Oklahoma State Department of Health, Oklahoma PTA, and more will be present to provide resources for those in attendance. This workshop is for people of all ages - students and adults alike. After the program, be sure to check out the library’s fiction and non-fiction resources on bullying and bullying prevention.
