Top Five Reasons to Shop at the Bookstore

  1. Our service: Our kind and knowledgeable staff are here to help you find the books and supplies that you need. Your satisfaction is our goal!
  2. We buy back books: Last school year, we returned more than $221,000 to students during the buy back periods! This enables us to have a large selection of used books, which saves you 25 percent.
  3. We offer choices: Rent or buy your textbooks. In-store or online, new or used. You can pick them up in store or have them shipped to you! It's as simple as that.
  4. Non-profit company who gives back: The Bookstore is operated by the Faculty Student Association (FSA), and all profits go towards improving the student experience. The FSA is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation established to run the auxiliary services on campus and to enhance student life.
  5. We sell more than books: We’re not just a bookstore - we also sell laptops, art kits, nursing scrubs and tool kits along with general purpose items such as study guides, calculators, flash drives, notebooks and pens. Additionally, we offer a great selection of candy and snacks as well as Hudson Valley Community College apparel.
