Imagine it’s 1927, and you’re flipping through a National Geographic magazine. On the back cover, a full-page ad invites you to join the Book of the Month Club, promising to send you a different great book each month. The tagline reads, “Relive the books that charmed you in your youth.”
Fast forward 100 years, and what charmed most of us in our youth likely wasn’t one of those great books that shaped Western thought and culture. Today, many Americans don’t read regularly, and even fewer delve into the timeless classics that answer so many of life’s basic questions.
But it’s never too late to start. Reading isn’t just critical for our students; it’s equally important for us as adults. So why not rediscover the joy of reading? Join us for this episode of BCL, where we explore the timeless value of great literature and how it can still enrich our lives today with special guest Cherie Harder, who has helped facilitate this for so many people.

We are thrilled to share the rollout of our new media platform, ZipCast, bridging communication between schools and parents and encouraging them on the go with what they need to know. Learn more about ZipCast at https://www.zipcast.media or reach out to us at hello@zipcast.media!
