Plaid Elephant Books - Danville, Kentucky

Morgan Turner

We LOVE Plaid Elephant Books!! It’s our go to book store for both our 8 year old son and as parents. We can get family board games and all the books. The selection there is amazing and you can order a book if it isn’t there. The owner is extremely helpful and SO kind.

Our family LOVES the Plaid Elephant bookstore! They always organize family friendly activities that get the community engaged in our wonderful local small businesses and their store is the FIRST place we go to get birthday gifts for parties. My kids love sitting and playing new games in the YA room and we always find a new book to read when we visit.

The Plaid Elephant is a “must visit” when in Central KY for any reader!

Plaid Elephant is a gem in Central, Kentucky. The bookstore offers a wide selection of children's books, carefully curated so children and parents can see themselves represented in the world. It also offers a vibrant young adult selection and even an adult selection of recent books. There are also puzzles and literary related accessories such as socks and earrings!
I appreciate that I can order books online to pick up in person and can also ask the owner to order books that she doesn't currently carry. My partner worked with her to order beautiful editions of Tolkien books to give me as a present.
Lastly, the store is a bright and happy place, with spaces for little ones to play, enjoy looking through books, and even a space for arts and crafts.

We love Plaid Elephant books and we are so happy to have this perfect little bookstore in town! They have a great selection of Children’s books in the store and now even some popular adult reads too! If Kate doesn’t stock it she will certainly order it for you! Lots of fun activities too! I love stopping in.

Plaid Elephant Books is easily one of my favorite places in the whole wide world. The atmosphere and staff are unmatched. It is the epitome of small town charm and my family and I always feel welcome and comfortable coming to explore. There are always fun and exciting new additions to check out when we go and any time I need something that is not in stock, it is so easy to get that ordered. Picking up orders is so easy that I can make a quick trip if I need to—though who ever really wants to?! I am so grateful my children get to grow up knowing and experiencing such a marvelous place.

Plaid Elephant is the best bookstore. It is independent and locally owned. The owner is so welcoming to everyone that enters her store There are hundreds if not thousand of books for any interest. They do so much to support our downtown as well as our local community and even provides books for surrounding communities school children. We love going to Plaid Elephant

Plaid Elephant Books is an absolute dream of a bookstore in small town Danville, KY. The owner, Kate Snyder, is knowledgeable and super helpful. She will help you to find the perfect gift for the special children in your life. The interior is charming and I love that there is a smaller room full of YA literature where you can find something for even the pickiest reader. You will not be disappointed when you choose Plaid Elephant for all of your bookish needs!
