Prairie Lights Books sprang to life in May 1978 as a small, intimate bookstore offering titles by newer voices like Raymond Carver and Alice Munro and by established authors like Eudora Welty and George Orwell. By 1982, Prairie Lights transplanted itself from South Linn St. to South Dubuque and has gradually spread to three and a half floors.
