Encore Books on the Square (Funders)

Happy birthday to our amazing Pat Young. She gives life to our bookstore through her incredible art displays.

We've been nominated for a RWC Climate Best Award! We'd love your support -- vote for us (vintage / consignment) and for San Mateo County History Museum (entertainment venue / place for history). Good luck to all the nominees!

Have a sweet day! - Your Funders

Wally Jansen is one of our dedicated volunteers working in the Encore Books used bookstore, located in the basement of the museum. He's very passionate and knowledgeable about San Mateo County History. If you want to know more about this house, stop by the bookstore and say hello.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Encore!

"You know the old saying 'never judge a book by its cover'? Well, I quickly learned not to judge a used bookstore by its location. I was completely unprepared for what I found buried beneath the old County Courthouse." Belated thanks for the kind words, Greg!

Wally was recently on the Pen Voice! Check out our interview with the wonderful Dani Gasparini. http://www.pentv.tv/2016/02/pen-voice-227-wally-jansen/ Grateful to Pen TV for featuring our little store!

It's a rainy weekend in the Bay Area. Great time to read a good book! Leave your recommendations in the comments.
