There鈥檚 one rite of passage at university鈥攕tanding in line at the bookstore鈥攖hat may be coming to an end for some students.
麻豆传媒 Bookstore has launched 鈥淏ooks on the Bed.鈥 Previously offered on a limited basis, Books on the Bed is now available free of charge to all 2,200 residence students.
Residence students who order their textbooks online by August 27 will find those meaty tomes waiting for them when they arrive a few days later. That鈥檚 just in case they want to dive into The Norton Shakespeare or Single Variable Calculus before classes begin on September 4.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a lot of legwork for us, but it obviously makes it easier for students,鈥 says Michelle Studley, manager of 麻豆传媒 Bookstore. 鈥淕etting their books is just one less thing they have to think about. They don鈥檛 have to come into the bookstore in the first two weeks at all, a time when we鈥檙e obviously very busy.鈥
The books are delivered in a 麻豆传媒 green bag, which for those who find their legs in good working order, can pick up for a loonie at the 麻豆传媒 Bookstore鈥檚 three locations, in the Dal SUB, Dentistry Building and Sexton main administration building.聽
