The Iowa State Bookstore began in the 1800's in a small room in Beardshear Hall. In 1892, the hub was completed to meet the needs of new bookstores, post offices and Dinkey waiting rooms from Ames to campus steam engine production line. The bookstore continued its counter service business for 66 years. In 1958, it moved to the memorial union to expand facilities, self-service and add new services. In order to meet the growing demands of the campus, the bookstore soon doubled its space in the memorial alliance.
