a change after being inspired in the past? What are some ways we can find inspiration? Have you been able to grow and bloom while keeping your roots grounded? A lovely garden has a variety of flowers—what are the goals and successful ways to improve the diversity
in your department and library collections? Are you focused on weeding or pollinating in order to bloom?<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
