Owned and operated by Iowa State University, the University Book Store has been serving the faculty, staff, students, and community for over 100 years.The University Book Store began in the 1800's in a small room in Beardshear Hall. In 1892, the Hub was completed to satisfy the need for a new bookstore, Post Office, and waiting room for the Dinkey, the Ames-to-campus steam motor line. The Book Store continued its counter service operation for 66 years. In 1958, it was moved to the Memorial Union to expand the facilities, become self serve, and add new services. To satisfy the campus'​ growing needs, the Book Store quickly doubled its space in the Memorial Union.
