Prairie Pages Bookseller

Prairie Pages Bookseller occupies a prime spot on Dakota Avenue in Pierre, South Dakota's small but significant capital city on the Missouri River. The store serves a unique readership that includes state legislators during session, government workers, ranching families from the surrounding countryside, and a tight-knit local community that values its cultural institutions. The politics and current affairs section is naturally strong, reflecting the civic engagement of a capital city, while the Great Plains history collection tells the long story of the land and peoples of the Dakotas. The Missouri River culture section is distinctive, celebrating the river that defines Pierre's geography and history. The children's section is a community priority, providing young readers in a town of just 14,000 people with access to the same quality literature available in the nation's largest cities. Prairie Pages proves that even the smallest state capital deserves a great bookstore.
