The campus bookstores, operated by Follett Higher Education, are adjusting their services to help reduce costs now that the semester is in full swing. During this transition, we’re collaborating with Follett as the District works on a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for bookstore operations. Since 2004, we’ve had a partnership with Follett, and over the years, the industry has changed significantly with the rise of book loans, zero-cost textbooks, OER materials, online used retailers, rental textbooks, and other improvements aimed at easing the financial burden of textbooks for our students.
