Midnight Sun Books has been the literary heart of interior Alaska for four decades, offering readers a warm refuge and an unparalleled selection of titles about the Last Frontier. The store occupies a cozy two-story log building on Cushman Street, where wood-paneled walls and a potbelly stove create an atmosphere that feels quintessentially Alaskan. The Alaska Native literature section is one of the most comprehensive in the state, featuring works in Inupiaq, Yup'ik, and Athabascan languages alongside English translations. The upstairs rare books room holds first editions of Jack London, Robert Service, and other northern literary legends. Every winter solstice, the store hosts an all-day reading marathon that has become a cherished Fairbanks tradition.
