Construction began Sept. 8 on Valley Ranch Town Center's new Books-A-Million location, officials with Valley Ranch developer The Signorelli Co. confirmed via email Oct. 7. The book store remains on track to open this fall.

As previously reported by Community Impact, Books-A-Million—also known as BAM!—offers a diverse selection of books for all ages including fiction, nonfiction and Bibles, as well as toys, gifts and collectibles. The 12,000-square-foot New Caney location will also feature designated reading areas, a children's section and host community-focused events and programming.

Books-A-Million is the nation's second largest book retailer, and the New Caney location will mark the company's second store across the Greater Houston area.
