Dog·Eared Books, located on historic Ames Main Street, celebrates meaningful books and nurtures a love of reading in all members of our community. We believe reading and storytelling make life richer and guide us to be happier and better humans, connecting us and allowing us to better care for one another. We offer a thoughtfully curated and inclusive selection of books for all ages, from board books to adult literature. We also carry a collection of puzzles, journals, candles, and other items for book lovers.
