Discovering Living Books: Jan Bloom’s Journey to Building a Rich Library | Episode 263
This week, we continue our little series on literature, because we believe in the power of living books to shape us.
Carole sat down with Jan Bloom, the author behind “Who Should We Then Read,” to talk about how knowing the stories behind our favorite authors brings even more richness to homeschooling. Jan shared her journey from not growing up around books to becoming a homeschooling family who loved books, building an incredible home library, and helping families everywhere discover the best literature for their children and for themselves. If you want to ignite a love of learning through incredible stories, this episode is for you!
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How Jan Bloom became a “book missionary” and built a personal library of rare, living books
- The physical and logistical challenges of running a mobile bookstore for homeschool conventions
- How learning about an author’s life can deepen a child’s connection to the books they read
- The lasting impact of preserving classic literature in a world where libraries discard older books
