Library Binary is a monthly tech podcast from the Cleveland Heights University Heights Public Library. Hosts expand on topics from the blog posts, share expertise, and cover current technology topics.
About the Hosts
Ann
Ann is a walking librarian stereotype – cats, knitting, and cardigans. She answers all your grandma’s tech questions in Tech Expert sessions. Ann is also a nerd for Internet security, German post-war literature, and more cats. She has two cats and a very anxious dog, all of whom have pasta-themed middle names.
Alyse
Alyse has never met a piece of software or technology that she doesn’t want to learn. If this was an 80s teen drama, she would be in the AV club. When she’s not yelling at Photoshop or GarageBand, she makes coding and digital music production fun and accessible to kids and teens. Her fearsome dragon Errol Pesto guards her computer keyboard
