Abstract This perspective article acquaints readers with the creation of a professional community of practice around contemplative pedagogy (CP), a rationale for CP in libraries, and how CP and mindfulness practices might be incorporated into both information literacy instruction and library spaces. Readers will come away with ideas and resources for incorporating CP into their libraries and ways to connect with mindful communities.
