Carmichael's Bookstore

"I’m up at Carmichael’s tryna get on the same page" 🎶 They’ve got notebooks, cards, classics, puzzles, games, "world’s smallest" series, a section for kids, postcards, T-shirts, tote bags, and even free stickers! But my favourite item is probably the "Louisville-opoly" edition of monopoly. I love the idea and I’ve only seen that edition sold at a couple other places. You can also buy Bri Bower’s Carmichael’s stickers here, or the same images in a puzzle.

Perfect little independent bookstore! The selection of books here is wonderful; you can find plenty of minority and queer books/authors in all genres as well as puzzles, stickers, and gifts. The back section is for kids books and is so cute and cozy! There is a small section of Kentucky history books but most of the space seems to be dedicated to nonfiction. They also host book signings throughout the year, and sometimes bring in some big names.

Great local book store always love visiting. If you don't find what your looking for you can order through them to support local.

I don't get here often enough but if I could I'd be there for hours. It's lovely and quaint and you can ask questions to the workers and they seem to have all the answers. I absolutely love it here and would suggest it to anyone that was looking for a bookstore. P.S. they also have a children's shop located not to far and it's magical too

I love this bookstore and have since I was a kid. I've found many treasures on the shelves and have met quite a few personal heroes thanks to their events. Most recently was meeting Democratic Candidate for Senate Charles Booker, and getting his novel signed. I value every memory made here.

Carmichael’s is hands down my favorite bookstore in Louisville! The vibe is cozy and welcoming, and they always have an amazing selection of books—from big new releases to awesome little finds you didn’t know you needed. The staff is super friendly and helpful if you’re not sure what to grab next. I love that they’re local and community-focused too. Definitely the kind of place you could spend hours just browsing!

Small bookstore but you can search their website beforehand if you are looking for a specific book. So many restaurants and shops close by on Frankfort Ave if you want to make more than just the bookstore visit to the area.
