For the past several months, Layfette Books & Gifts has been popping up around NKY. We’ve dreamed about having a place of our own, and now, we’re holding the key.

There are still shelves to fill, boxes to unpack, and a whole lot of work ahead. But today, we just wanted to share this little moment with you.

Something special is taking shape. And we can’t wait to open the door.

Based on the recent poll, we’ve chosen our next book: I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman.

Join Amanda and El on September 30 at 7 PM as we gather to talk about this thought-provoking novel. Come ready to share your thoughts, questions, favorite moments, and maybe a few things you’re still trying to figure out.

You can order the book directly from Layfette, listen through Libro.fm, or check it out from your local library. However you choose to read it, we’d love to have you join us! Let us know if you’d like a copy or plan to participate.

Our family has always believed that some of the best moments are spent sitting down with a good book.

Early literacy builds skills, but reading together builds so much more: curiosity, imagination, connection, and a lifelong love of stories.

Books have been an important part of our family for generations, and that’s one reason we’re so excited to open a bookstore of our own: to share that love of stories, discovery, and reading with our community.

This is what we love about a Layfette pop-up:

A cozy space, a room full of books, and people taking their time to discover something that catches their eye. There’s something special about the way books can bring people together through a shared love of stories and discovery.

We love bringing that bookstore feeling to you, wherever we pop up. Come browse with us at a pop-up near you!

We had such a great time at on Friday!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to browse, grab a book, and spend a little time with us. We’re so grateful for the support of our local community and for the opportunity to bring Layfette Books to more of our favorite local spots. And, a huge thank you to Enlightenment Coffee for supporting a new local business!!

We can’t wait to see you again soon!

We want to stock the things you love! As we continue growing Layfette, we want to hear from you.

When you walk into a bookstore, what do you love seeing? Books, of course, but what are the little extras that make you want to browse, linger, and take something home?

Bookmarks, Journals, Mugs, Totes, Stickers, Bookish Apparel...or something really cool we don't even know about 😉?

Tell us what you love seeing in a bookstore. Your ideas will help us decide what we bring to our pop-ups and what we add as Layfette continues to grow.
