Welcome to Arctic Tern Books 

Named for the intrepid bird that migrates from pole to pole each year, Arctic Tern Books is a place for discovery.

We believe each individual is on a very specific and personal journey and books are one of life's most enriching pleasures. The right book discovered at a precise moment in time can change the trajectory of a life, bridge an uncomfortable divide, heal a wounded spirit, spark unbridled joy. To aid serendipitous discovery in the online environment, we offer curated journeys comprised of books from a variety of genres. 

If you're looking for a specific book, just type the book's title in the search field at the top of the screen. 

To shop with us in person, please visit us at 432 Main Street in Rockland, Maine. (Right across from the wonderful Main Street Market.)

Please, take your time exploring. Let’s see where your next journey takes you.
