Lockdown Reading Group
On Wednesday 1st April, 5 members of the LRC Team came together for the first meeting of the LRC Lockdown Staff Reading Group.
At 2pm we met on a video conference call using Microsoft Teams. The group started with a general catch up, before introducing the books that we would each be reading.
