We’re thrilled to have Nancy S. Kirkpatrick, Dean of Libraries at Smith College, deliver the closing keynote for the 2026 Colorado Resource Sharing Conference!

What We Build Together: Hope, Libraries, & the Power of Collaboration

Join us for a keynote on hope, libraries, and the power of collaboration. In a time marked by uncertainty and exhaustion, she’ll explore what libraries already know: that trust is infrastructure, generosity can be strategic, and meaningful progress is almost always built together. A timely conversation on leadership, resilience, and why quiet, steady work still changes the world.

See you on April 23 and 24!
