Birdwhistell Books will open tomorrow, September 10, in downtown Elizabethtown, Ky., the News-Enterprise reported. Located at 110 N. Main St., the bookstore will sell new and used, general-interest titles for all ages.
Store owners Tyler and Kelsey Birdwhistell, both teachers, began selling books at a local flea market in 2023. Though their focus was initially on used books, they have added new titles as the business has grown over the years. They noted that because they're more passionate about used books, they rely on Marian Carlson, a public library director, to help select their new titles.
Birdwhistell Books met with a good response, and when the opportunity came to open a bricks-and-mortar store, Tyler Birdwhistell said, "we jumped at it."
