Most of the novels I picked up were $4.99 and in excellent condition. You might not find a deep discount bargain here but you also won't have to search through dusty stacks on the floor.

Books on Main is the "used books" version of The Nook bookstore (that only sells new books) across…read morethe street. They have similar availability and stylization between both stores. Impressively low prices (between $4 to $12 for most books I saw) with books in pretty solid shape. Honestly, after I saw a few books go for $18 at The Nook and then $8 over here, I'm not sure why you'd buy at The Nook (though the Nook was awesome too). Didn't see any stained covers or bent pages; the spines of the books are clearly "used" (no new book smells) here, but they're in really good shape. Staff was really friendly but left us alone to shop. I ended up picking up a few books, and I was happy to receive them in a cute brown paper bag as well (which I used to take out recycling today!). If you shop at Books on Main, you get a 10% coupon off a coffee across the street at the Reader Cafe (which is attached to Books on Main). Books on Main does not have a bathroom in it (unlike the Cafe and The Nook across the street). It is, however, attached to Raygun at the back of the store, allowing you to shop two stores without having to pop back outside. As a single semi-large room, the books here are very focused on popular fiction niches. You get lots of mystery thrillers, romance, and romantasy books. There's a very small section of cookbooks, non-fiction, and SciFi, but it's relatively clear that this book is focusing most on what sells best (i.e. your BookTok genres). Would come back in an instant.

They have cassettes that work for a dollar that sounds Brand New. Versus a different Record Store near me sells cassettes for 20 bucks and dosent work at all.

I hadn't been here in years and I regret it. I should have been visiting more often because they…read morehave such cool stuff! This business has been around for many many years. It's full of fun gifts, home decor and funny unique items. I strongly recommend you visit the back room. Because who doesn't need a pot holder that says "I f#*%!ing love cheese!" They have several adult humor items in the back of the store and my husband and I had a good laugh. The front of the store has more tame and family friendly items. Lots of good gift ideas for a wedding, shower, graduation or just to get something for yourself or a friend. The woman attending the store was very personable and friendly. She offered gift wrapping for my items and had pleasant conversation without being pushy. The only reason for the 4 star instead of 5 is because it's so cluttered. There is stuff everywhere! They seem to have an organization to it but it's hard to shop. They're us stuff floor to ceiling crammed in there. It's hard to navigate through and if you were a bigger person or had to use a walker or a cane it would be even more difficult. But overall a neat store!

This shop has a lot of neat things, but most of it was stuff I had seen before in other shops and…read moreit was a little pricey. It is nearly impossible to move around if there are other shoppers in there because the aisles are so narrow and there is just stuff packed and packed in. I found a bracelet I wanted to buy so I went up to pay for it, sat it on the counter, and waited for both of the women working behind the counter to stop texting on their phones before they acknowledged I was there. HUGE turnoff.

This is a great little art museum! Even though the gallery is on the smaller side, they host all…read moresorts of events from the Final Thursday Reading series to child's classes to adult workshops. It's a wonderful resource for the community. History: James Hearst was a poet and professor at the local university, the University of Northern Iowa. He donated his house to the community, and the James and Meryl Hearst Center for the Arts was born. His poems are classic to the Midwest and Iowa, focusing on nature and farming. Exhibits: The art exhibits change out frequently, and often feature a guest exhibit, as well as some from their own cache. Gary Kelley is a local favorite. He is an illustrator for children's books. If you are familiar with his work, it's not hard to pick out his pieces. Price: None! The art museum is free and open to the public, as is their events. Of course the workshops and classes have a small fee for supplies. Garden: They have lovely gardens in the back during the spring/summer/fall months. You can even host a small wedding there! The garden also contains art sculptures that you can walk around and view. The iconic art sculpture out front represents a cyclone. Shop: There is also a small shop inside where you can buy items and art from local artists. This art museum is a gem to the community. Be sure to check it out!
