About Us

We are a local bookstore that has an extensive collection of books and music, with a complete Alaskan and Kodiak section. We support our community by featuring several local artists selling their art on consignment. We are a staff of six local women.  The Next Page is a friendly, fun place to shop.  Please drop by the store and browse our selection of books, CD's and locally made art.

I am a service member on the island at current. I am a Book Hound, often enjoying when I was stationed in more urban settings to lounge around the downtown bookstore just roaming about lost in some pages, or burning time burrowing through the shelves that became my own little "Tunnel Network" to literary finds that I could add to my personal shelf. Arriving on the island and seeing what "downtown" around the one stoplight had to offer me was dismal, and I quickly gave up hope for finding a local haunt/supplier and resigned myself to the digital world. That was until recently that I saw in a brochure "The Next Page". I went, and I found myself "digging" the scene and quickly becoming comfortable. They have a solid selection that surprised me in its diversity, and the fact that its local gives me a great outlet Moral-wise for myself. being next door to a coffeehouse adds another nail to the coffin as I am fueled by the Bean. On my way over there at current to pick up a find that I just can't let go. Now, I will add that its not a B. & N. or a Borders; its selection is "Limited" in that they don't have everything your heart may desire. But for a local bookstore in a VERY remote locale, it goes above and beyond the bar. Highly recommend it; anything that you can't find, they are more than willing to order for you. Great supplemental to a Web Based Reader, as this gives you some shelves to peruse on the weekends to find random offerings, and its a great place to base your ops out of.
