Answer
The Library does not often have the most recent editions of textbooks, it's focus is on providing research materials rather than course-specific textbooks. Students wishing to buy textbooks will need to connect with the RRC Polytech Campus Store. Students can search for required titles using the bookstore's "find my textbooks search".
The Campus Store is located at NDC on the mall level, just off the bus loop (CM-52), and at EDC on the ground floor of P building (Atrium).
Q: Why doesn't the Library have textbooks?
Keeping up to date on required textbooks for each class, with copies enough for multiple borrowers is not fiscally possible for the Library. However, sometimes our collection has old editions of textbooks that have been donated. Search for old editions of textbooks and supporting resources using the Library's main searching tool, OneSearch.
