Hobbies develop skills that can be applied to real life situations, such as networking, researching, and managing complex collections. Work experience can also lead to discovering new interests that would otherwise go unnoticed. In the spirit of finding joy, this Birds-of-a-Feather will discuss how information professionals have cultivated and maintained their hobbies through their work while also highlighting the benefits in integrating those interests into their daily routines. This discussion is open to all audience members, regardless of their experience levels in librarianship and their interests.
