Interview with SLPL Creative Experience Specialist: Ana Gomez
I am very active with the public library systems here in St. Louis City and County. I have taken many courses through them online. I have taken the kids to events. Heck, I took my kids to every single St. Louis Public Library branch. That was 15 branches. A let me tell you, some of those buildings were absolutely stunning.
During the pandemic, I used the library to print off many print and play games that I downloaded. When the restrictions lifted, I found out that the public library system offered even more services. They had a recording room, 3D printers, plotters, and now, at one location, a Glowforge.
Anyway, I saw that there was going to be a presentation on making a board game. So, you know I signed up and went. There, I met Ana Gomez. She is the Creative Experience Specialist, and a board gamer. She encouraged me to do a presentation at the library on Board Game production. I then encouraged her to be a guest on my show.
She joins me in this episode to talk about her gaming habits and how to utilize your local library to feed your board gaming addiction. Thanks for listening.

Ana Gomez
Creative Experience Specialist/Musician
I have been with the St. Louis Public Library for almost 6 years, having worked in the Creative Experience the entire time. It is a great (free!) resource for the community to express their creativity and grow their creative pursuits.
My background is in audio production and music production, which is so popular here at the library. It's truly wonderful to be able to share my knowledge with the folks who come into the library who want to learn how to make their own music.
