Carefully curated.
Locally rooted.
An Independent Bookstore in the Making
Layfette Books & Gifts is a popup bookstore in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. We carry new and gently used books, thoughtful gifts, and bookish goods for readers of all ages.
Our long-term goal is a permanent independent bookstore in Northern Kentucky. Until then, you'll find us at local markets, small business popups, and community events — listening, learning, and curating along the way.
