Come the fall of 2013
Hi teachers,
It sounds like an oxymoron, but come the fall of 2013, San Antonio's Bexar County is going to be home to the BiblioTech, the country's first book-less public library. Of course, there will be books -- just e-books, not physical books.

What does the "come" above mean? Is it a verb?
