Books are vital for learning and almost every class requires a textbook, however, with JCCC trying to limit foot traffic as much as possible for this fall semester students are asking how they are supposed to get their books. The bookstore has devised a way for students to safely get their textbooks with contactless pickup and delivery options. Here, books sit ready to be picked up by students.
