Kepler's Books is an independent bookstore in Menlo Park with a long and proud history that dates back to the days of the Beat Generation, some of whom hung out at the original location. Boasting a superb selection of books, an assortment of unique gifts, and an award-winning children's department, the recently remodeled Kepler's remains a lively community gathering place today. You can meet literary luminaries almost any night of the week in an ongoing series of author events, and every Sunday morning there's storytime for kids and their associated grown-ups.
