St. Paul Book Corner

A novel idea

The St. Paul Book Corner is located in the lively central Commons area. No ordinary venture for a Quad-City congregation, it’s novel in every sense of the word. This nonprofit bookstore is built on St. Paul’s commitment to lifelong learning in the faith. Hungry readers from all over the community discover goodness here.

Beautiful new space

The Book Corner is now open in bright new quarters, just inside the south Gathering Area. Come and see!

Awaken your spirit

Just imagine a place for browsing books you can count on to nourish your spirit, where you can find artwork for your home that communicates a life of grace. The Book Corner is stocked with meaningful materials for living your faith, for awakening your mind, and for stirring your heart.

The Book Corner happily stocks:

  • Books for all ages
  • Greeting cards
  • Gifts, chocolate and coffee, with a commitment to justice and fair trade
  • Art
  • Music
  • Special items just for kids

Every item is carefully selected to nourish the daily faithfulness and to benefit people in developing countries. Books are priced below retail, without sales tax.

Hours of operation

The Book Corner is open on Sunday mornings, 9 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. During the school year, the bookstore is open on Wednesday evenings, 6-7 p.m. Whenever there’s a special community-wide event, such as our Guest Speaker Series, the Book Corner is open with special resources too. The bookstore now accepts Visa and MasterCard.
