Summary

The combined TCR (Teach and Read) was established as a strategic initiative to foster deep cooperation between libraries across the UK. This new framework moves beyond simple collaboration by focusing on a shared operational and strategic approach to library services.

The directors of this organization represent major regions, with Mark McCree serving as the director of Oxfordshire Libraries, Sue Wills acting as the assistant director for Arts and Culture in Surrey, Gary Porter leading the library and culture function for Cambridgeshire, and Robert Clayton handling both libraries and heritage for Derbyshire. Through this arrangement, these institutions work together to enhance library capabilities within their specific geographic boundaries.
