Kia ora koutou,

Working from home has given me the opportunity to reflect on the special community I have quickly become a part of working at UC Library. What an exceptionally friendly bunch you all are!

I’ve created a Zoom channel for everyone to use called ‘Kai time’ to stand in for those moments in our day when we come together to shoot the breeze, sip beverages, and (for some on level 5) try not to nod off next to the radiator. If you’re feeling social on your morning or afternoon tea break just pop into the channel and hit the video icon (Meet with Video) or join if a meeting has been started. (This is where it gets a bit experimental, having not used Zoom much myself in previous lockdowns. We’ll see how this goes.)

I’ve set the channel to Private. Rather than signing everyone up and making you change your notification preferences/leave the group, for now let me know if you’d like to be added.

Hope to see you around the virtual Billi tap soon,

Leah
