Our Story
In the winter of 2019, Matthew Benton had a crazy idea while studying for AP World, verbatim: "What if I made a book club where we only read really old books?", and thus spawned the Classical Literature Club. Later that spring, Matthew pitched the idea to Mrs. McLane where she became the sponsor for the club. Upon creation, Iris Smith joined Matthew in his mission to spread love for real, classical literature. Now the three are working to build a place where students can discuss and show passion for books that have been loved through the times.
