Hobbies of Some LWLC Staff

Here are favorite hobbies of 4 LWLC staff members: 

Neil Foulger, Electronic Resources / Serials Services Librarian

"Learning languages helps to understand other ways to express ideas and what others are saying. It also brings smiles when a language speaker sees you try to communicate with them on their terms. I can speak 4 languages proficiently, understand a few others, and studying a few more".

Monica Hodge, Science Reference Librarian 
 
"One of my favorite hobbies that I like to do in my spare time is exercise at the gym when I'm not busy. Out of all the various types of exercises, doing cardio. is my favorite."
 
   
Natasha Jenkins, Information Literacy Librarian
"I enjoy arts and crafts like painting, floral arrangements, photography, and home decor.  I've been relatively creative all my life, so I use my free time to create pretty things for others to enjoy."
