You should be able to get many things, the basics at the MUM Bookstore or the Dome Market. \u00a0If you are talking about linens or larger items, there is shopping in town\u00a0for most of those needs. \u00a0If you need to get to a larger city, Iowa City is a little over an hour away.<\/span><\/p>\n
