Bobbi Galvin
Never afraid of a good challenge, Don Yarman is an Ohio public library champion. His ability to foresee opportunities for growth has benefited libraries and library users statewide. His professional yet personable style enables Don to interact effectively with anyone - from children to legislators. Don's ability to coordinate people, events and major projects goes beyond efficiency. He possesses knowledge, intuition and perception, making it a joy to accompany him in the field of librarianship and public service. Under Don's leadership, I not only gained knowledge about effectively dealing with people and ideas, but I also learned a lot about myself.
