So what do we do when tech takes over our lives? How do we make an effort to disconnect? Follow the link for suggestions from KidsHealth. https://t.co/MaMnDGXaGX @WRMSBrantford

[WRMSLibrary @LibraryWrms]

Yesterday Ms. Rutter took a break from Twitter. While it may seem that Social Media is the only means of connecting with others right now, it may also contribute to mental health concerns. @WRMSBrantford Check out this article explaining how: https://t.co/HiZblq2dda

[WRMSLibrary @LibraryWrms]

It's Friday @WRMSBrantford! Leave those laptops, desktops, cellphones and braillers behind!!! Disconnect from tech, connect with those in your household and take a BREAK! You've earned it! Have a GREAT weekend!
