Our Adult & Teen Summer Reading Challenge Bingo Cards are restocked at the shop!📚

We appreciate your patience on these. Our first batch went much quicker than we anticipated😅

Happy reading:)

Our Summer Reading Challenge at The Nook has officially begun!📚

Pick up a Summer Reading BINGO card with any $5+ purchase at The Nook or Books on Main.

We have two card options:
• One for readers ages 8–12
• One for teens & adults (13+)

Each card is filled with fun prompts to inspire your summer reading! Complete a full row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) to earn an entry into our Grand Prize Drawings. Multiple rows = multiple entries!

Record your reads on the back and remember: each book can only be used for one square, no double-dipping!

BINGO cards must be returned to The Nook or Books on Main by 7pm on Monday, August 31st.

Let’s make it a summer to remember, one book at a time! Happy reading!😊

We’ve been a little MIA on social media the past month or so, but for good reason… we’re expecting!🍼🙈

First-trimester nausea made it a little difficult for me (co-owner/social media gal) to be as present in the store, but my sweet husband (the other co-owner) and our amazing team have done a tremendous job keeping things running smoothly.

We’re so grateful for our Nook family, and we’re excited to welcome a little one later this year.🫶🏼

Happy June☀️

We’re fully booked with events this month at The Nook!

This week, we’ve got our Bar Winslow Book Club tonight, Silent Book Club tomorrow evening, Cedar Falls Downtown District’s Girls’ Night Out event Thursday, and our Audiobook Walk on Saturday morning!

We’re also excited to share that we’ll be hosting another Puzzle Competition at the end of the month during Sturgis Falls! If you’ve participated in one of our puzzle competitions before, you’ll notice this one is a little different. We’ll be taking it outdoors between 2nd and 3rd Street for a fun new twist on the event. This is a ticketed event, and tickets are available now on our website!🧩🎡
