I've been a customer here for a long time - it's the only independent bookstore I know in the area…read more They're small and cozy, but offer a terrific selection covering a broad swath of genres. If they don't have it in stock, they'll gladly order it for you. When my kids were little, this was my go-to place for books for them. They host quite a few book clubs and have events on a fairly regular basis. In addition to books, they have a small selection of art supplies, magazines, games/toys, and reading supplies. Parking is on the street with meters, but I've never had any trouble finding a space. Definitely a small gem in Dubuque's downtown area.

Let me say at the outset, that I adore small independent bookstores. This place was awesome!

They had a nice selection of books for all ages. A balance of best sellers, classics, and other books. To find such a gem in a small town in Iowa (without a big college) was a treat.

That begins with Sheila and her dog Buster, as they specialize in books but elevate the whole experience with personality. I went inside for an atlas, and discovered a great place! A Chicago native, Sheila is a treat. She knows her store and her town, and is helpful as can be. Kind, aware, and vibrant, what a fun person.

Their gallery is gorgeous, housed in a lovely Victorian manor, and they show a wonderful variety of paintings, prints, pottery, jewelry and art cards. Bi-monthly Friday night openings are the place to be for camaraderie among culturally minded residents and visitors. Programming is creative and fun, with "Art on the Porch" demos from local artists every Saturday during summer and "Great Draw" sidewalk art competition for charity in early autumn. I am proud to support Outside the Lines - and wish them many more years of success.

My sister and I spent a day in Galena shopping and this was our favorite store. It offers a wide variety of clothing to suit the tastes of most women. It had some things for younger women, but not juniors. I liked that the styles were fresh and didn't seem for just 'older' women. The woman that was working that day really knew the merchandise and was able to help us try things we ended up loving, but wouldn't have picked out on our own. Make sure you spend time in here when you shop Galena!!
