Storyhouse is an adorable little bookstore in the East Village. The staff at Storyhouse are so kind and they always amaze me with how they know their customers. The store has a cute and cozy kids section along with many adult options. Abbey the owner plans and executes many great events that support the bookstore and surrounding community. Storyhouse is an inclusive place to be where you will always feel welcomed. Over the last year Storyhouse has started book clubs and they are the best. I’ve learned from attending book clubs and events that not only is Storyhouse amazing, but so are its customers.

Storyhouse is a beautiful bookstore. I visited here while in Iowa and got a few different books! The store clerk Hannah was amazing! She helped me find everything I needed. Whenever in Iowa I will definitely come back here.

Great selection! I would upload the video I took of all the recommended books, but it won’t load. I love seeing what people like to read and why. There was a section dedicated to that, which I enjoyed looking through. The store is inviting and enchanting. It’s like a cozy bookstore you see in a movie. Great selection of books overall!

This is such a beautiful, cozy, warm and friendly atmosphere. Perfect for relaxing, snuggling up in one of their comfy chairs and reading! The staff are so friendly as well :) you will want to stop by and see and experience this bookstore!

This is my absolute favorite small bookstore in Des Moines. Every time I visit Des Moines I make sure to stop here and I am never disappointed. I love how they have small employee made summaries attached near books they recommend. I've never left here without at least two books.
