Palisades Branch Library Cybernaut Jake Folsom will lead a Libby and Online Library Catalog Workshop on Thursday, September 26, from 3 to 4 p.m.
“Learn how to use and navigate the Libby app and the online catalog from a Cybernaut,” read the Los Angeles Public Library website.
Libby is an “innovative in-browser and mobile app” that allows library card holders to borrow e-books, magazines, streaming services and audiobooks.
Cybernauts are described on the Los Angeles Public Library website as “trained computer aides that offer technology assistance, computer support and mobile device support.”

“In working as a Cybernaut, Jake’s aim is to serve the vibrant community of Pacific Palisades while he builds his experience as a library professional in preparation for his graduate-level studies in library and information science,” read a statement from Pacific Palisades Library Association.
Folsom, a graduate of NYU Tisch with a double major in film/TV and journalism, grew up in Minneapolis.
“He has a passion for helping people and a love of technology,” PPLA wrote, “which makes him well equipped to help address your technology questions.”
