Hello! October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month; an annual nationwide initiative focused on promoting safer online practices and increasing awareness of digital threats. For libraries, cybersecurity is especially important: staff handle sensitive patron information, rely on networked systems every day, and play a key role in modeling safe digital behavior for the community. Strengthening cybersecurity habits helps protect both library operations and the communities we serve. I’m excited to share a series of short, interactive mini‑games created in Canva using Canva’s AI tools, with support from use of Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and Anthropic Claude. Each week in October, I’ll send a new email with a direct link to that week’s game. Feel free to share the link with staff internally. Please note: the games will only be available through November 30. Week 1: https://quokka-tfvq2m.my.canva.site/ I hope these activities bring a bit of fun into your month while supporting your library’s ongoing digital safety efforts.
