There’s not much to the town of Alberton. With a population of 429, it’s the definition of small-town living. But it does have something every bibliophile can appreciate: one of the largest bookstores in Western Montana. And with over 100,000 titles to choose from, it’s safe to say you’ll always find your next good read here.
Family owned and independently operated, it's quirky and eccentric in the best way.
There are no modern amenities like an espresso bar or oversized reading chairs, but that just leaves room for more reading material.

That's the beauty of being a privately owned business.
Kenneth made the claim of having 100,000 books from the start, so he always kept the shelves well-stocked. His daughter, Keren, took over the store after her father's death and she still runs it to this day, along with the help of her family.
The store will ship your order to you if you call. And since they're known for obscure titles, people are always welcome to call to ask about hard-to-find books.
Montana Valley Bookstore is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you can't make it into the shop, just call (406) 722-4950 to see if they have what you need.
