About Us

River City Books is an independent bookstore located in Soldotna, Alaska. It was established in 1999, giving it a 20+ year history in the area.

When the owner, Peggy Mullen, decided to stop renting locations and build her own store, she was very mindful about creating an environmentally friendly building. The large windows provide plenty of natural sunlight, and that sunlight also provided energy through the multiple solar panels on the roof and sides of the building.

The store also has LED lighting and an efficient ventilation system, to allow for air circulation. The exposed wood and steel trusses, wood shelving and accents give the bookstore a warm environment. In keeping with being as “green” as possible, there is also a charging station for electric vehicles in the parking lot.
