Description

Do you . . . Love to read? Love to explore new neighborhoods? Love to get lost wandering the aisles of a physical bookstore? Love to hang out IRL with fellow word nerds who will chat about plot lines and exchange reading lists? Love to make a difference by supporting local businesses? Then YOU, my friend, are invited to come join us for Indie Bookstore Field Trips around Southern California! What We’ll Do: Once a month, we’ll host a FREE Saturday morning meetup at 1–2 bookstores in varying neighborhoods around SoCal. We’ll begin with free browsing time and end by circling up outside to introduce ourselves and share about any new books we bought or discovered. In certain months, we may even be given private tours by the bookshop owners, as well! What to Bring: A mask and your curiosity.
