Black Birch Books

BBB isn’t where you come to find what you’re looking for - it’s where you come to find what you didn’t know you needed. But the owner is happy to order whatever you’re looking for at the lowest price possible. There’s also a shop dog (Dante), a coffee/snack bar, and a rare books section. There’s also a whole section dedicated to books & crafts from local creators!

Taylor (may be incorrect spelling) is always such a joy to be around, as well as whomever else the bookstore attracts. The sense of community is tangible.

Some yogi tea wisdom made me think of Taylor and Black Birch Books "Find strength in knowing that you can make a difference in the world."

I love this book store. I love the environment. I love the folks here. It's more than a bookstore. It's an area everyone is welcome to enjoy. Thank you for providing the valley with a place of open arms and a great selection of books. My favorite is of course the Alaska section.

I recommend everyone here! This has been the most accepting and supportive place I've been in a long time. Nothing will ever change my opinions and views of this place. I'm so very greatful to be able to know such an amazing community of people! They also have the best doggie ever :)

The owner is a charm, and one of the best little bookstores I've been to in Alaska. Lots of local writers are displayed and always a smile. Also kudos for helping the youth with work! Great addition for the community!

What an amazing little store! Unassuming from the front, it's definitely a case of "don't judge a book by its cover" once you get inside.

When I say there are tons of books, I mean that there are tons of books. So many nooks and spaces that could potentially be holding your next greatest read, you should make sure to spend lots of time to search high, low, and come back for a second look after you've moved on. Lots of deals to be had like $1 tables. The kids section is very extensive and overflowing with inexpensive options. Lots of curiosities (as the name implies) like records, native art, and jewelry. Coffee, tea, and cocoa in the corner can warm you up as your browse.

We loved the local creations like pens, jams/jellys, crochet, and cards/bags scattered throughout the store. On top of that, in-house handmade wands and screen printed clothing... really cool. I had to grab a shirt for myself.

Grimm the friendly dog is waiting for you and runs through the store soaking up affection. The owners are amazing and friendly... my family felt at home amongst friends as we shopped. I delightful experience.

Military and first responder discounts, as well as birthday discounts. There's always a giveaway drawing to be had, which is really cool.

We can't wait to go back and browse the new inventory. You should stop by one day. Who knows what you'll find?

A wonderful and enchanting book store filled with interesting items and even more interesting people. Always inviting, always cheerful, 100% recommend.

I went to the Black Birch in search of a certain book. I could have ordered this book online and had it arrive in a nice little package, neat and dull and borish. But the Author of this book wouldn't, I believe, have done that. And so, in the spirit of solidarity, I dragged my tuchus on down to the real thing. Alas, my query was not on the shelf, and so ironically, the proprietor placed an order for me. And the rest is a story for another day. I will say, my book arrived in a timely fashion and I am glad to have "Run With the Hunted" back in my collection of excellent books. And i made a friend in the process. So thank you, Taylor. Now the days shall run away over the hills.

Love this local bookstore and curiosity shop! The owner supports our local teens and sells handmade local gifts as well as books, pens, potions, and so much more. Don’t miss this chance to support small local business.

Very unique store and owner with book-finding (if you're looking for something specific) and book-binding talents not readily available anywhere else. They welcomed us warmly and even offered free beverages. Whether you're interested in the occult or a good book there's a great selection of hand-crafted goods as well as much older, rarer types comics, religious texts, and more for collectors. They even have regular public events easily found on their Facebook page. Great place to hang out and potentially make new friends.
