Matt Jensen
CyberNavigator
Matt Jensen is a CyberNavigator in the downtown YOUmedia branch at Harold Washington Library. You can often find him at the front desk engaged in conversations about books, games, movies, music, or anything else one might argue about. Matt leads the Homeschool Club every Thursday in various arts and crafts projects and enjoys working with paper and paint as much as video games and laptops.
Matt came to YOUmedia with several years experience working in various Libraries and several years experience working with teens, but never at the same time. Considering that these are two of Matt's favorite things, working in YOUmedia is basically his dream come true. In August of 2012, he graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with his MLIS.
