What we’re about

We are a group of black women who love to read, want to read more, and meet like-minded women. We are here to inspire women to read, share literature, fellowship, and encourage others in the joy of reading. We meet at the Inglewood Public Library (2nd Floor) on the first Saturday of the month. We are an eclectic group of women and so are our reading selections. Find out more on our website www.mochagirlsread.com

Sat, Aug 23, 2025, 8:00 AM PDT2 Library Tour: Nixon Presidential Library and Yorba Linda Public Library
Inglewood Public Library, Inglewood, CA
## Books, History & Good Company!

Get ready, LA Chapter ladies—August 23rd is going to be a day of laughter, learning, and a little road-trip magic! We’ll kick off bright and early with coffee and breakfast, then hit the road to explore Yorba Linda’s literary and historical treasures. First, we’ll browse the beautiful, modern Yorba Linda Public Library, where anyone with a California ID can score a brand-new library card. Then, we’ll step into the pages of American history at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Museum—a place where you can walk through a presidential birthplace, explore exhibits, and soak in stories from another era.

Between great conversation, tasty food, and a shared love of culture, this is the perfect chance to bond, be inspired, and come home with both memories and maybe even a few good books.
