“I think there was only one person working but she did a phenomenal job. She managed to answer everyone's questions and check everyone out while keeping an incredible friendly attitude. Would definately recommend.”
“I love going into Walls of Books! They have super friendly staff, and are always willing to help you find anything you might need. Isa is always great to see and she is the cutest girl there is! The owner is really nice and has always been there to help with any questions I may have!”
“This is my absolute favorite small bookstore in Des Moines. Every time I visit Des Moines I make sure to stop here and I am never disappointed. I love how they have small employee made summaries attached near books they recommend. I've never left here without at least two books.”
“I am no longer a DMACC student after the end of June. But I will tell you this if you want a great price, nice staff member to help you select your materials for your classes, and/or a simple reminders to turn in rented books this is the place for you! Thank you, for all the years that you helped me find books I need for my courses! You have a beautiful and wonderful staff! I appreciate all the help that you have delivered throughout the years!”
“The staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Stopped in today to get my daughter books for school. The staff took us around and found every book we needed. 10/10”
“I went to this Lids location to get a Christmas present for my husband, and I honestly had avoided this store in the past because of previous management. The experience back then just wasn’t worth it.
This time was completely different. The new manager is a total 180 in the best way possible. From the moment you walk in, she greets you with a smile, asks how she can help, and genuinely makes you feel welcome. Even though she was the only employee working, she was incredibly attentive, helping everyone in the store without ever making anyone feel rushed or ignored.
She was efficient, knowledgeable, and still took the time to ask all the right questions to make sure we found exactly what we needed. Even as the store got busy, her attitude never changed. That level of customer service is rare and deserves recognition.
Because of her, I’ll absolutely be coming back to this location. She made the entire experience easy, comfortable, and enjoyable.”
