"Our California! Book Club"

Gather with us as we read and discuss books that impact and reflect on the California experience – past, present, and future – and how it informs the work of the State Legislature. We’re delving into a broad range of topics about our state, such as our immigration stories, the history of our development and business patterns, and water and transportation policy. And, of course, the people behind it all.
