Cyber Defender & Databank Supervisor
Because of her unquenchable thirst for knowledge, Maya started out as a librarian. While she loved her job, she wanted to do more to help protect people.
Since Cyber Villains such as Ms. Information and Elvirus can corrupt websites and the information on them, Maya teaches people to protect themselves by using caution when visiting websites and avoiding sites that are not trustworthy.

Halloween Scares
In the weeks before Halloween I like to search the Internet for scary Web sites. Sometimes I find tips on creating aliens in bottles or a batch of roasted pumpkin seeds. It gives me great ideas for things to do for the holiday. I sometimes even find my costume online!

Reading for Pleasure
The weather is changing. We are starting to see more rainy days, and this morning I woke to a touch of frost on the lawn. It is the perfect time of year to curl up with a good book.
Read about pirates and hidden treasure or about a monster constructed by a mad scientist. Ask your parents or a trusted adult for an appropriate book and have them help you find it at the local library today.

Academy Library
I want to invite everyone back to the library. Over the summer I spent some time working with the card catalogue system to create an easier way of organizing and looking up books. I've just finished putting the finishing touches on our new computer look-up system. It is similar to using a Web search engine like the one at the Databank. Just type in what you are looking for and the system will look for matches based on title, author and a short description of subject matter.
Come visit the library today!
