Dragonfly Books is a cute little indie bookstore with a great selection. It has lots of books on its shelves, including local works, well-known titles, and books by authors of colour. The store offers a variety, with some unexpected finds and a box of very good prices. The staff is very kind, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and incredibly sweet. They are always ready to help find certain books and will order any titles not in stock. The owners are nice and sell cards made with their own photography. It is a favorite place for gifts and a treasured community bookstore.
It's small, but their selection is impressive. You'll find a little bit of everything. Set yourself a budget before you go in or else you will walk out with way more than you intended!

Visited on the Iowa Indie Bookshop Tour. This was our favorite bookstore. Loads of great Scandinavian books and products.

A little Northeast Iowa treasure! This little gem is set in the middle of the main street. Customer service was amazing, and it's so nice to have access to all my book needs less than 30 minutes from home. Plus, the coffee shop is across the street, so this hometown barnes and Noble is a dream come true!
