Students see a textbook delay during first week

By Liam Collins

It's been almost a week since the spring semester began here at Elon, but many students are still having issues getting their books in time to complete assignments for their classes.  It's a result of a new book-ordering system that was implemented last fall and moved textbooks to a warehouse on Church Street in order to make room in the second floor of the book store for more Elon gear.  Before this process change, textbooks were located on the second floor of the bookstore, available for students to either order ahead of time and pick-up, or for them to pick-up with no previous order. Now, all of the textbooks have moved to a warehouse on South Church Street when, as Barnes and Noble Store Manager Carly Mayer stated, the store noticed that 85% of students would order their textbooks ahead of time.
