Books & More stemmed from owner Michael Matherne’s love for teaching, books and community.

The overview

The locally-owned and operated bookstore is nestled in the Township Square Shopping Plaza and offers a wide selection of genres, according to the store’s website.

Before opening Books & More, Matherne taught for more than eight years in Fort Bend ISD. He said he wanted to “bring the classroom to the community,” so the shop offers a range of classes, including tutoring for school-aged students and financial classes for adults.

Along with classes, the bookstore also hosts community events such as story times and local author meet and greets.
