A couple years ago, my dad told me about a book he wanted to read. I couldn’t find it anywhere. I just happened to be in the Beaverdale area, so I stopped in Beaverdale Books to check for it. The staff were super helpful and it took some time to find the book, but they had it! The staff are always really nice. Cannot recommend enough!!!

I adore this bookstore. It’s my favorite in Des Moines. I love the location and atmosphere. The staff is wonderful. The selection of books, including local authors and a huge children’s section, is fantastic. They hold great events, including readings and story time.

Beaverdale Books is celebrating it’s 8th anniversary in 2014! It is truly a hidden gem of Des Moines. If you love poetry, essays, memoirs, fiction, and nonfiction by Iowa writers, this is the place to come. They stock an amazing array of poetry! Just when I thought and Barnes & Nobles were taking over the planet, here is an independent bookstore to support right here in town! See… not everything is located in West Des Moines or Waukee!

Very lovely little book store in Beaverdale with the best selection of Iowa authors you will find in the whole state! This is not a huge store, so you might not find that hard to find biography you are looking for, but the staff is always happy to help and or order something for you! Also great kids section of books if you are a parent or expecting! Long live the local independent book store!

After stopping in at Back Country Outfitters, I wandered across the street to Beaverdale Books. It’s a cozy and locally owned bookstore, with a nice selection and comfortable chairs to hang out and read. The person a the front desk was very friendly and helpful and was quick to offer an ordering option if they didn’t have a particular book. The bookstore itself has an interesting mix of authors and topics. Iowa authors and themes are also featured. There are also periodic book reading/signings, a teacher discount program, and associated book clubs.
