The founders and co-owners of the beloved Folio Bookstore in Noe Valley are onto the next chapter. A community hub and cherished resource, the bookshop hosted authors, marked book launches, and highlighted local writers. There were popular scrabble nights, a trivia night, craft gatherings, and even a kitten adoption event.
The staff were all book lovers and exuded a special kind of joy about reading that was infectious. The Bookworm group for tweens was a delight and often the kids would help shelve and organize and return often to find the latest installment of a favorite series; all events were free of charge. The window displays were legendary and for holiday shopping Folio couldn’t be beat.
Noe Valley is full of avid readers and book lovers and let’s hope the epilogue to this story includes a rebirth of a treasured neighborhood literary center.
