UPCOMING EVENTS
Independent Bookstore Day, April 26
The 13th annual Independent Bookstore Day is coming and we hope you will join us for the celebration. This year we will feature another extraordinary limited edition design by KYArtRat, Stef Ratliff. In keeping with our past fairy-tale themes, this year's design features Jack and the Beanstalk. As an independent business, we know the importance of standing up to the giants of big box stores trying to push us to the margins. We will have t-shirts, tote bags, and stickers featuring the new design. Be one of the first 25 to spend $25 for a free 2025 sticker. Part of how we distinguish ourselves from the chains is our expertise. Look for our beanstalk bookmarks throughout the store and save 20% on our staff picks.
We are fortunate to have great business community partners and we will have giveaways from HarperCollins Publishers, and the Golden Ticket from libro.fm. Find the Golden Ticket to win a year of free audio books.
Come sip on our special IBD drink — The Beanstalk, a raspberry matcha served hot or cold.
Local Yarn Shop Day, April 26
Mark your calendars and plan to join us on April 26. Local Yarn Store Day (LYS Day) is a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and community. It’s a day dedicated to the small businesses that bring fiber enthusiasts together, offering unique yarns, expert advice, and a welcoming space to learn and share. Whether you’re a knitter, crocheter, weaver, or just starting your fiber journey, LYS Day is your chance to connect with others who share your love of yarn.
We will be offering an exclusive colorway from Knitted Wit called A Gathering of Stitches, free patterns with purchase from your favorites like Cascade and Malabrigo and more. The first 25 to spend $25 on yarn will receive a limited edition LYS enamel pin.
In addition, we will be kicking off our newest Make Along. It's time to get Rectangled! Recently, we were all "squared" up in a fabulous group project. The colors and inspiration from so many participants resulted in fun, community and beautiful finished jackets. Now the rectangle takes the spotlight in two cute and enjoyable projects ... a knit or crochet summer top or an origami fun crossbody bag. Your choice can be one or all of the projects. SIGN UP HERE

Book Discussion & Signing with Author Nicki Jacobsmeyer, May 15
Saddle up for lunchtime conversation on Thursday, May 15 at 11:00 a.m. with Nicki Jacobsmeyer, author of Images of America: Kentucky's Packhorse Librarians. Copies of the book will be available for purchase, and Nicki will be signing at the end of the event.
When the Great Depression started, folks stumbled on hard times. People craved hope for the future, which arrived with the pack horse librarians through President Roosevelt’s New Deal in 1933. Although the program ended in 1943, the lasting effects on literacy and the community can still be seen today.
Nicki Jacobsmeyer writes fiction and non-fiction for children and adults. She has a forthcoming nonfiction middle grade book, The Ghostly Tales of St. Charles (Arcadia Children’s Books, Fall 2025), and several other books including, Kentucky’s Packhorse Librarians (Arcadia Publishing, 2025), Surviving the Iditarod, You Choose: Surviving Extreme Sports (Capstone Press, 2017), and Images of America: Chesterfield (Arcadia Publishing, 2016).
