Mar 20, 2024

During the pandemic, 35% of the world increased their reading habits. And now, from book clubs to #BookTok, people have continued to turn to books as an anecdote to isolation and a way to build community. 

Why is reading so transformative? How can we ensure everyone has access to books? And how can books build community? 

In this episode, Greig Metzger joins Kevin to discuss how books can build community.
