Where stories and community converge

A space for discovery, connection, and the quiet power of books

Solstice Books exists to share the joy of reading, offer a curated refuge for curious minds, and build a space where everyone feels seen. Tucked inside GATHER at 721 2nd Avenue, we’re creating something uniquely Fairbanks—a bookstore that celebrates the quiet power of literature to change lives and spark understanding across divides.

Discover books you didn’t know you needed. Our shelves are thoughtfully curated by readers who love books. Every title is chosen with intention—not just what sells, but what matters. Whether you’re searching for fantasy to escape into, memoir that moves you, or children’s stories that reflect your family’s experience, you’ll find it here alongside diverse voices and local authors.
