Norco College announced a transition in bookstore operations as the RCCD Board of
Trustees approved a five-year contract with Barnes & Noble (B&N) on October 17, 2023.
The transition from Follett to B&N has commenced and is scheduled to be completed
by December 4, 2023.
Follett's services concluded on November 14, 2023. The bookstore will be temporarily
closed from November 15 to December 3, 2023, for inventory transition, physical setup
of the stores, Point of Sale (POS) terminals installation, and computer system integration.
Limited services will be available from November 27. Barnes & Noble College prioritizes
a smooth transition to ensure accessibility to course materials. The college appreciates
the understanding and patience of its community during this transitional period. The
new Bookstore website is now available at https://norco.bncollege.com/.
Upon reopening on December 4, 2023, B&N College promises an affordable course material
catalog, digital learning platforms, and a buy-back guarantee. Exclusive collections,
such as "Be Well. Be You.," offering wellness products, will be available. The partnership
aims to elevate the bookstore experience for the Norco College community.
B&N College, rated #1 in overall satisfaction for bookstore services among national
bookstore vendors, aims to deliver an elevated store experience.
Norco College would like to thank Follett for its years of service to the Mustang
community.
The Norco College Bookstore will be open for in person and online shopping.
