    Hello!!

    My name is Stephanie Vance and I'm a library assistant in the Collection Services Department of Sacramento Public Library. I attended ALA 2024 and was instantly inspired to improve & expand our current board game collection and how we use it. I look forward to finding ways to be involved in GameRT and to network with you all.
