A Curious Service
Tell us what you like, what you do for fun, what matters to you; give us a budget. We'll build a selection to suit. Let us surprise you (or a friend)!
When we found out that Libro.fm is an independent business committed to paying fair rates to authors, publishers, and independent bookstores, we joined. Now you can purchase audio books, keep and listen on any device (because it's DRM-free), buy specific books as gifts or give credits, and best of all, get reviews and new suggestions from indie stores across the country, including the inimitable crew of Haunted!
You can become a subscriber with a few clicks. Oh no, not another subscription...? But hang on! The terms are reasonable and the subscription is really worthwhile.
With a variety of gift options and easy wishlist setup, Libro also makes birthdays a breeze. We recommend the 3-month gift subscription!
If you want to sell your books, you can bring them to the shop between 3pm-6pm Fri-Sun, or call us for appointment options.
We strongly advise that you call ahead every time you plan to bring books in order to check wait times.
If you have mobility concerns or a large collection (>10 shelves/boxes), we may be able to visit your home/office. We do not travel outside Iowa City between September and May.
