Horrible music that’s too loud to support quiet browsing
Soft classical or jazz or anything without singers blasting

My family and I really do enjoy this bookstore, it's so much more than books. There is literally something for everyone here, it is always bright and clean and well organized. You can find great deals on books (better than online) and the yearly membership that saves you 10% every time comes with some amazing coupons (it is SO worth it!)
So why the three stars instead of 5??
The attitude of several employees. It's almost downright rude. We have had several "encounters" where we have been ignored and/or treated rudely here. It is the one reason we have started going to the new bookstore in town (where everyone has been super friendly, helpful and ALWAYS ready at checkout).
Also, deducting a star for the removal of the little coffee shop/cafe that used to be in the bookstore before they moved locations in the mall. It's still a huge store, with more than enough room. There's just something about being able to go to a bookstore, grab a snack and cup of coffee that makes you want to stay longer, make an "adventure" out of it. Now it's just commercialized and much less of something to do and just a place to shop.
Still... We will continue to shop here, especially during the holidays, and I'm glad it's here.

It's a Book-A-Million; well stocked with a new interior, but I'm not a fan of getting pushed to sign up for magazines.

So the selection is smaller, there’s no chairs, the coffee shop is gone..

Edit:months later still nowhere to sit and nothing at all better with this location.

What moron made this decision ? Can’t have anything nice around here. Just make the mall another bank and get it over with. Dubuque sucks

Edit: All these 5 star new reviews are part of the problem, bunch of non locals

BAM has moved to the old Younkers Department Store location. Great store! This store has new books, used books, knick knacks, board games, some records, and some graphic novels. When they moved to the new location, there is no longer a coffee shop like there used to be. BAM has lots of nice things if you are looking for a unique gift 🎁. There is a buy back program too.

Nicely redone location and good selection of books, 👌 very disappointing that there is no longer a Joe Muggs coffee shop in the store. Nothing like book shopping followed by sitting down to a warm beverage.
Sad there is no place in Kennedy Mall, to sip on some coffee or tea and relax!

Lots of different things here, its like a Barnes and noble for smaller places, they sell the normal stuff like books and magazines, but also toys and collectibles for all of your favorite shows, book series, and movies. They have a coffee shop, which is amazing, incredible drinks. And have a buyback program for books.

Whenever I buy the odd book it's usually from the Books a million in Dubuque. The selection is great and the staff are friendly. However, the system to order items to be picked up in store is HORRIBLE! The website gave the wrong store times, wouldn't even give me an estimate on when to pick up my order, only put the 96hr hold time in a tiny place on my receipt and didn't account for the holiday weekend. How does a bookstore still have such a terrible pickup system?

Look at the name of the store. What could be better? I'm super biased though, If I was allowed to I'd live in Barnes & Noble. I wish I had more time to check it out. I hope to go back the next time I'm in Dubuque and spend several hours, and dollars there. They have some great collections, and I love the way it is organized.

They don't even deserve one star. I was in today November 12th 2021 at 3:22 to buy a book mark because I lost mine. They informed me after they rang in my transaction that I would have to pay with exact change or a debit/credit card. They told me that they had no change in their registers.
