From the Ground Up Books

From the Ground Up Books & Resources is an independent Kentucky bookstore built on the belief that stories change lives and community matters. With welcoming locations in Shepherdsville and historic La Grange, we offer thoughtfully curated new and used books, local author support, literary events, and spaces where people can gather, learn, and connect. More than a bookstore, we are a hometown hub for readers, writers, and curious minds. From the Ground Up is proud to celebrate Kentucky voices, support small business, and create places where everyone feels at home among the shelves.
