After a contract negotiation that began in December, the University of Arkansas has agreed with Barnes & Noble College to allow it to assume operation of the U of A Bookstore on Garland Avenue, as well as the Promenade Razorback Shop in Rogers.

Due to the transition, both store locations will be closed Feb. 21-March 1 for training. Both locations will re-open on March 2. During this time, customers will not be able to purchase items from either store, however, Anime Café, the Computer Store and iMedic will remain open.

Once the bookstore re-opens, students will continue to have the same variety and selection of textbook and course material offerings that have always been made available including: new, used, rental, inclusive access, OER, and e-edition books.
