I adore Prairie Lights and feel like it's a must stop for anyone visiting or passing through Iowa City. It always has the hardest to find books on the shelves and on the rare occasion they do not they will order so you can get anything your heart desires! I also LOVE the coffee shop on the second floor. The coffee is amazing (although I haven't been in there in ages due to Covid) and love to sit there and chat or read the Iowa Review for a bit. : ) The basement kids section is also a pleasure, my kids love to explore around too.

I have enjoyed shopping at Prairie Lights since 1980. We're lucky to have it in Iowa City.
