While the inventory will not be changing, items are being relocated. Trade books and magazines will be on the top level, and textbooks can be found along the outside walls downstairs, where the trade books used to be. Clothing and insignia items will remain upstairs.
Customers can browse a book at the tables and chairs located along the upstairs windows.
In the fall, the Bookstore hopes to offer coffee and other beverages. There will be new signs providing directions, and the Bookstore staff will be happy to offer assistance in locating items. The goal of this make over is to have the books be more accessible by placing them right inside the doors. The major moving should be finished by the end of Spring Break with the whole project completed during the summer. College Preschool Grinnell College will, in fact, be running the Summer Day Camp program this year, despite some discussion to the contrary.
