I am the new YBP person for MN, IA, ND and SD, as Kit Clatanoff has retired. Many conference attendees are from YBP customer libraries. I would be happy to answer questions from anyone about how YBP can help streamline your library workflows or generally discuss collection development. I am also an active prairie gardener so we can talk about plants and birds and butterflies!
