How does a book club meet during quarantine? Joanne from Columbia, a member of the Ladies Eat and Read Society, says its been a virtual experience: "While we occasionally took turns talking so we could hear and respond to each other clearly, the familiar cacophony of all our voices together was comforting. We were us!" Read the rest of her letter to us: https://www.mdhs.org/underbelly/2020/05/06/letters-from-the-homefront-virtual-book-club-meeting/
