We’re thrilled to invite you to our very first Local Author Book Fair at The Nook and Reader’s Cup on Sunday, March 30th from 12:00-2:00pm! Stop in to meet select Iowa authors, learn about their stories, and discover your next great read. 

It’s a great opportunity to support local authors, connect with fellow book lovers, and celebrate our vibrant literary community, right here in the Cedar Valley! We can’t wait to see you there!

Bring your little ones on Monday, April 14th at 9:30am to listen to some Easter books & partake in a light activity!

Hop into spring at our second annual Easter Egg Hunt at The Nook & Reader’s Cup! From Thursday, April 17 through Saturday, April 19, we’ll hide 30 eggs each day throughout both stores.

Each egg contains a special surprise — from sweet treats and stickers, to coupons, gift cards, and more!

Come early to find one of the 30 eggs each day — while supplies last! Everyone, adults & kids alike, are invited to participate. Limit of one egg per person for the week. 

Remember, the eggs will be clearly visible (no need to rummage through bookshelves!), so don’t miss out!

Happy hunting!

Join us on Saturday, April 26 to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day! A day to celebrate books, readers, and indie bookstores. We’ve got an exciting lineup of bookish fun for you, including:
