Bond Street REIT proudly supports the Charleston Library Society, founded in 1748 and recognized as one of the oldest cultural institutions in the United States. With its rich collection of rare books and historical documents, the Library Society plays a vital role in promoting literary excellence, intellectual exploration, and the preservation of history in the South. Under the leadership of Founder and CEO Michael D. Reynolds, who serves as a member of the Board of Trustees and Treasurer of the Library Society, Bond Street REIT launched a Speaker Series. This initiative celebrates the Library Society’s cultural and literary legacy through a series of engaging discussions and thought-provoking lectures. Deeply committed to preserving this invaluable repository of Southern heritage, Bond Street REIT works to ensure the Library Society’s historical significance and cherished collection continue to inspire future generations.
In 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville toured America and visited Charleston in search of the “secret sauce” that made America’s democracy so powerful. What he discovered was that the “glue” that created community and civic discourse were its cultural institutions. Libraries, theaters, museums, and other cultural spaces served as the foundation for civic engagement and public dialogue. This insight is as relevant today as it was then, and the Charleston Library Society (CLS) endures because of this very truth. The inaugural speaker of the Bond Street Speaker Series is Bob Corker, former U.S. Senator from Tennessee, known for his leadership on foreign relations and fiscal policy. With prior experience as mayor of Chattanooga and a successful businessman, Corker brings a wealth of expertise from both the public and private sectors. Since leaving the Senate, he has remained active in business and public affairs, frequently commenting on national issues. In his remarks, Corker will reflect on the vital role of cultural institutions in shaping society, fostering community, and strengthening public discourse, offering insights on how leadership in both cultural and civic spaces can enhance shared values.
