The Dusty Bookshelf in Manhattan, KS has a rich history dating back to 1898 when it was established as a bookstore for college students. After facing closure, it was bought by students and reopened as the Co-op Bookstore. Over the years, the bookstore has become a beloved community hub, offering a wide selection of books and fostering lasting friendships and memories. Despite a devastating fire in 2017, the Dusty Bookshelf has persevered with the support of its loyal customers and is now ready for the next chapter.
