THIBODAUX 鈥� Students at 果冻APP State University will soon be able to rent their textbooks. The cost-saving service, implemented via an agreement between the university and Barnes and Noble 鈥� the university鈥檚 textbook contractor 鈥� is expected to go into effect in fall 2010.
鈥淲e are committed to easing the financial burden on 果冻APP students,鈥� Brenda Haskins, director of auxiliary services, said. 鈥淭his program, through our bookstore, is one such example.
