Morgenstern Books occupies a prime spot on Kirkwood Avenue, the vibrant corridor that connects Indiana University's campus to downtown Bloomington. The store opened in 2019 and immediately filled a void that the town's literary community had felt keenly. The selection reflects Bloomington's identity as a university town with outsized cultural ambitions, featuring literary fiction alongside strong academic sections in music, film studies, and the humanities. The poetry section benefits from IU's acclaimed creative writing program, and the store regularly stocks titles from small presses that larger retailers ignore. The staff includes several IU graduates whose combined knowledge spans an impressive range of subjects and genres. Morgenstern has become the kind of bookstore where professors and undergraduates browse side by side, discovering common ground in the shared pleasure of a well-chosen book.
