carrie lowery, bridgeville public library & south fayette township libraryinterviewed by julie hornicktell us about yourself. in a nutshell, what is your role at your library? currently, i'm a youth services specialist at bridgeville public library and south fayette township library. i build the teen collections at both bridgeville and south fayette and i help with the board game collection by giving suggestions of games i’ve heard of or have played and enjoyed. i also create and implement all of our teen and tween programs (in-person, virtual, and passive), help manage our teen volunteers, help develop tiktoks for our libraries, and run our sensory storytimes and storywalks.  what game are you excited by right now? why?this is such a difficult question because there are so many incredible games out there. right now my favorite board game is quacks of quedlinburg. i love this game because it's really easy to pick up and teach to anyone. to me, it's the perfect combination of strategy, luck, and complexity. for video games, and my discord group may dislike like this, my favorite game is kirby and the forgotten lands. i'm really enjoying this video game because it's just so incredibly silly and fun. share a program that you have developed or participated in that you were really proud of or excited by.during covid, i helped create a collaborative teen gaming discord and a teen dungeons and dragons discord with around six or seven other librarians within the allegheny county library consortium. we have been working together for the last year and a half providing weekly game nights to over one hundred teens. we're even starting to do in-person events just for our discord teens so they can meet one another in person. it's been incredibly successful, and i would highly recommend trying something similar to anyone within the library world. what games are popular in your community?we have a board game collection at bridgeville, which
