Students returning to campus this past fall probably came across a surprise on their first trip to the College’s bookstore. It is now located in the new classroom building adjacent to the Zappala College Center. The new and improved bookstore occupies a much larger space and offers a wider selection of merchandise. A coffee bar, complete with comfortable chairs and a selection of specialty coffees for purchase, offers students a place to stop and take a moment to relax.

“We needed more space for textbooks, especially with the College’s increasing enrollment,” said Joanne Ferrill, bookstore manager, who added that the store has a new look and new signs. The 3,000-square-foot space is about one-third larger than the previous bookstore.
