Happy Read Across America Day! Are you looking for new and interesting historic fiction books to read? We’ve got reading lists from past and future book club sessions listed on our website.

March is #WomensHistoryMonth. Our newly updated blog makes it easy to curate posts by topic. Come and read some fascinating stories about women in Los Angeles including Clara Shortridge Foltz (1849-1934), the first female lawyer on the West Coast of the US and the earliest advocate for an office of public defender.

"Long before Disneyland — even before Walt Disney moved here, in the summer of 1923 — Angelenos had the choice of dozens of themed mini-amusement parks right here. In carnival L.A., you could visit not just one but two ostrich farms, not just one but two private zoos, a monkey farm in Culver City and another in the Cahuenga Pass, and at least two lion farms: Jungleland, originally Goebel’s Lion Farm, in Thousand Oaks, and Gay’s Lion Farm, in El Monte, the place that MGM’s trademark snarling lions called home."
