Save An Independent Bookstore in Noe Valley, San Francisco

Former Folio Books owner and staff need your support to open a new independent bookstore on 24th Street! Help us continue the decades-long literary legacy in Noe Valley.

Former Folio Books owner Katerina Argyres is on a mission to bring a bookstore back to the Noe Valley community. Katerina has made steady progress toward this goal, along with the help of former Folio staff members Andrew McIntyre, Isaiah Scandrette, and Kit Fitzgerald. Now, we need financial support to help make this plan a reality.

We are turning to you, the incredible literary community we have come to know and love, for help. Please consider donating to our bookstore and spread the word that your local booksellers are returning home! Donations will be used for start-up costs including building maintenance, fixtures, inventory, and staffing.

Everyone who donates will be invited to a celebratory event and receive in-store recognition. Please know that every cent matters. If you can, become a Bookstore Hero by donating $5,000 or more. Learn more about becoming a Bookstore Hero on our website.

Please help spread the word and share this fundraiser with your family and friends.

We are unspeakably grateful for your support over the years, and hope to see you soon!

Cheers,

Katerina, Andrew, Isaiah, and Kit
