A beautiful morning here in Yellowstone, Montana. We've spotted bears, bison, eagles and lots of chipmunks so far! Feeling super lucky to get to see such a gorgeous part of the world!

A great opportunity to ask Anne Jarvis of
#Princeton
about increasing female leadership in the library space following her fantastic keynote at
#CONUL25
Day 2. Anne recommended the book "Why Should Anyone Be Led By You". So encouraging to see an Irish woman excel at such a high level!
