Black Birch Books - Wasilla, Alaska

A very welcoming, wholesome local book store! I loved the selection of books, the curious...curios, and the overall vibe of the place. I highly recommend for those in the LGBT community!

Cute and welcoming book store. Great selection of used books. They have a section for local to Alaska authors, as well fun extras. Easy to find and good parking.

Great place with a really friendly and inviting atmosphere. Books are great selection and pricing and they offer a ton of community engagement events for people of many walks of life. They also offer a place for Alaskan authors and creators to exhibit and sell their wares.

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?

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!

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.

Absolutely amazing. Loved being there for one of the author classes they hosted by K.T. Munson. The store is clean, comfortable and has a great atmosphere. Perfect spot for getting a coffee, buying a book and spending time with friends. Wish they had a location in Anchorage.

Great atmosphere! More than just a bookstore, Black Birch is a really nice place to hang out. Cool place to find a good book and enjoy the coffee bar while observing the colorful band of patrons that filter in throughout the day. There's a veteran coffee meet-up at 10am every Saturday as well as a plethora of other events throughout the year (craft classes, book clubs, open mic night, etc..).

Good variety of books at good prices with a really interesting rare book section. The only place in the valley that does professional bookbinding! I really can't recommend Black Birch enough, I've been to bookstores all over the world and this one really exemplifies everything I look for in a book store.
