Encore Books in Yakima, Wash., has reopened in its new location, at the corner of Walnut and 5th Avenue. The store was closed earlier this summer while it moved from its home of 16 years to the new space, which is closer to Yakima's downtown and is a bit larger. According to general manager Brett Lamb, there is still some renovation work to be done but the store has opened and is welcoming customers. A space within the store has also been set aside for someone to do coffee or food service, but no partnership has been finalized. A grand opening event will be held at Encore Books on September 9.
