Books & Brew | Des Moines, IA

Books & Brew is the perfect way to wind down your summer! Throw on your favorite comfy clothes, bring your current book-in-progress, and join us at the Coffeehouse for a laid-back afternoon of quiet reading, chill music, and your go-to iced (or hot) brew.

Be sure to stop by our free bookmark creation station and make your very own custom bookmark—a sweet little keepsake to carry you into your next chapter.

This event is free, but space is limited—so come early! Seating is first come, first served (we're no longer taking reservations). Coming with friends? Arrive a bit earlier to find a spot together.

While you're here, check out our Blind Date with a Book display. Take a chance on a mystery title—you just might discover your next favorite summer read.

Let’s send off summer with stories, sips, and a whole lot of cozy vibes!
