FAMU bookstore unveils new look, expanded services

As the fall semester gets underway, FAMU students are finding expanded services and a "refreshed" look at the university bookstore.

Recent renovations in the bookstore include new decorative fixtures, countertops, and lighting, an expanded convenience food section and a larger selection of FAMU paraphernalia.

“The expansion of the convenience area has been very popular,” Bookstore Manager Angela Williams said. “Everyone that has come into our store loves the new look and we’re thrilled that we can offer our students more of what they want and need right here on our campus.”

The bookstore is now a full-service operation offering students textbook options that include new, used, rental ,and digital books.

Digital textbooks, which typically offer savings of up to 60 percent over new printed copies, are particularly useful in helping students cut down on book costs. Students can access the e-Textbooks they purchase through the Barnes & Noble’s free NOOKStudy application, which delivers them directly to PCs, Macs, iPads, and iPhones.
