We will be CLOSED for July 4th ๐Ÿ˜‰ Safe holiday weekend wishes, all!

In case there was, y'know, any doubt or speculation at all regarding our operational status here at the NWSCC Bookstore tomorrow - there be the clarification to put your beautiful minds at ease and to plan accordingly ๐Ÿ˜‰

Great time to wear NWSCC attire, too! I mean, our mascot is literally that of a Patriot and our school colors are red, white and blue. Might legit wear our new red "N" shirt by the pool ๐Ÿ˜Ž

On a serious note: All of your stories, all of your unique personalities, all of your voices, all your perseverance in overcoming obstacles and all of your diverse backgrounds, experiences and reasons for coming to NWSCC to aspire for personal greatness in hopes of a better tomorrow, well, friends, *that* is the American spirit we applaud, celebrate and embrace that inspires us, too. May you all always have the freedom - true freedom - to be yourself.

Mmmkay had to get a bit cheesy there but kinda feel it's important during these times to be so. Now, some light-hearted tidbits:

Our favorite 4th of July traditions and memories? For Angel, it's cooking out and spending time with family. For Jared, it's the opportunity to go swimming and maybe watch I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997). For Lydia, it's...um...well, let's just say fireworks are involved and leave it at that. But, "family time and cook-outs are good as well." ๐Ÿ˜

We hope you have a safe weekend!

It's true... We're seeking a new face to join our Krusty Krew ๐Ÿ˜‰ Interested? Apply on Indeed!

Yep, we here at the Northwest Shoals Community College Bookstore store are inviting everyone who is or might be interested the opportunity to apply for the chance to join our team and, specifically, work with us for the upcoming Fall '25 semester rush.

I'll admit: We don't hire *too* often since I'm proud to say we keep a pretty consistent team here at the bookstore, so this is a rather rare but special opportunity to apply ๐Ÿ˜

Of course the curator of this account is going to speak positively of working here and try to pitch that, right? But, honestly, I have no reason to pitch it otherwise, friends! Quite simply: I think this is a fantastic opportunity to gain quote-on-quote "real world" work experience and earn some money whilst in a fun and welcoming environment.

I mean, I have fun. I'd work here...

Starting pay is $9.50, by the way. Since, y'know, money ๐Ÿ˜œ

Copy and paste the Indeed link to apply!

โš ๏ธ Low stock alert! How does minimalist grey, grab ya'? Only a few left! Get while ya' can! ๐Ÿฉถโ˜€๏ธ

We notice a lot really like grey tees! I guess a lot vibe with the minimalist coziness of it, to which the curator of this account fully supports. We admittedly don't have too many grey pieces in our collection right now, so get these while you can!

We still got some new merch pieces in the works and, rest assured, will absolutely be getting some more inclusive sizes, too, to support all beautiful body types - because all body types are beautiful. We got two 3XLs of these tees, by the way ๐Ÿ™Œ

Also, Jerome - our unofficial 4 worker here - embracing his man bun "hot boy summer" after backpacking through Joshua Tree and selling off his Disney Laserdisc collection and playing his ukulele around a campfire the singed his beard.

Speaking of employee, we miiiiiiiiiight be seeking to add a new one unto our fold ๐Ÿ˜ hint-hint. Stay tuned, friends! Sending a hug to you all, too - stay safe, Happy Pride and Happy Juneteenth month โค๏ธ

Obligatory reminder, friends ๐Ÿ‘†Also, like...yay, beautiful summer day on campus! ๐ŸŒž

To elaborate: Yes, Financial Aid will close for charging tomorrow, friends. So, anything your academic heart desires that you wish to charge directly to your Financial Aid, today is the last day to indulge in that. After that, it is closed and we cannot charge anything else to it while they begin the ever-desired refund process.

Also, did you know most forms of Financial Aid will cover school supplies, technology and merch? We had some rad speakers on sale and we literally had regulars come in every day to buy them and stock up for future birthdays and holiday gatherings ๐Ÿ˜†

Some other business-y things of relevancy:
โ€ขThere was a miscommunication regarding a CIS 199 code. We now have the correct one. So, if you purchased a CIS 199 code from us before 6/11/2025, please reach out to for us an entitled refund โค๏ธ We got you!

Stay tuned for some unique content! Summer semester allows us to have time to get a bit creative amidst our air-conditioned emporium ๐Ÿ“ธ โ˜€๏ธ

A truly heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS to our NWSCC graduates today from us at the Bookstore! โค๏ธ๐ŸŽ“โœจ

You did it! Like...you actually did it! You are a college graduate! And we couldn't be prouder!

Each and every one you should be proud at what a remarkable accomplishment you have made!

To our NWSCC men, women, nonbinary, first generations, next generations, minorities, people of color, LGBTQ+, parents, caregivers, special needs, veterans, back-to-schoolers, youngsters, youngsters-at-heart, all-nighters, early risers, "on my third cup of coffee-ers" and anyone and everyone in-between: We see you. We recognize your hard work. Above all, we recognize your value. We want to applaud all of you and thank you for being you ๐Ÿ‘

If we at the bookstore could offer any piece of advice and elderly wisdom to you? Not really so much advice, just something to remember: You have goodness to offer this world. Every single one of you matter. By working hard and seeing it through to graduation, we hope a part of you knows that already โค๏ธ

Oh, and, well, to quote a favorite graduation speech: "There is no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza." ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ˜

To sound a bit parental: we can remember when many of you first entered into our educational emporium - a freshman - and now walk away a graduate. Thank you to those who have supported us here at the bookstore. It means the world to us โค๏ธ๐Ÿฅน

We love our quips and self-aware word choice posts, but we also have no qualms in getting a little mushy to tell you all how special you are! ๐Ÿ˜

From us here at the bookstore: Congratulations, Class of 2025 NWSCC graduates! We wish you the best โค๏ธ

Love,

Angel, Jared and Lydia

Y'all...April has felt like the longest month, no? Some end of month fun 'cause why not? ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŒž๐Ÿชจ

If April has felt like an eternity to us, we can't imagine how our students must feel amidst the pressure of finals and other academic gauntlets to pass through and whatnot. So, how about an end-of-month photo dump of fun and business-y things hopefully presented in an equally fun context to add some brightness to your algorithm ๐Ÿ˜

Ok, to those who have placed these kind-hearted painted rocks throughout the campus atrium tables? YES! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅฐ We see your efforts and truly want to thank you for putting this energy out there! It honestly goes a long way. This is the kind of world we want to live in and, hopefully it goes without saying, this is the kind of energy we want to embody at the Bookstore, so I hope it's cool we pass along this message to all those who see it. You ARE loved. You DO matter. And each and everyone has goodness to offer the world โค๏ธ

Graduation is approaching. Nearly t-minus one week away ๐Ÿ˜‰ We still have tassels and caps and gowns in-stock and will be selling 'em until the day of graduation...but, y'know, we encourage you to get yours sooner rather than later. Plus, a novelty keepsake frame to keep your diploma in *and* box of souvenir chocolates! Because, yeah, a major academic achievement is nice and life-changing, but so, too, is chocolate ๐Ÿซ

Oh, and rental books are due back to our store on or before May 5th, y'know, lest ye be charged ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Plus, gotta love the sunny weather after a week of dreary April showers and storms. Thank you to those who keep our campus beautiful! We at the comfortably air conditioned bookstore are so eager for summer sun ๐ŸŒž

NEW MERCH drop in 3...2...1! ๐Ÿ™Œโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

New tees *and* new sweatshirts have arrived ๐Ÿ˜

These new pieces I think are especially special to us because we - the bookstore team - had a hand in personally selecting the designs for these pieces of textile brilliance to sell, so we're especially excited to see them come to fruition and be on sale now. We know it has been a hot minute since we got new pieces like these in, and we hope you all genuinely like 'em!

Thank you all for your continuous support, patience and feedback. We truly appreciate it and hope we made you proud, NWSCC Patriots ๐Ÿ˜˜

Also, shout-out to one of our fave customers/ friends, Kelsey, for letting us exploit her recent purchasing of one of the new aforementioned sweatshirts to model it for us for the sake of this post ๐Ÿ˜‰ She couldn't look better! ๐Ÿค—

BTW this is just a Part One of new merch! Part Two coming soon...maybe some hoodie action will be had ๐Ÿ˜

๐ŸŽ“ Graduation Caps & Gowns are on sale! Like...right NOW! ๐ŸŽ‰

Hey, friends! So, alas, graduation at Northwest Shoals Community College is upon us! A more heartfelt and unabashedly cheesy congratulatory post is coming but, for now, we are the bookstore absolutely want to take a moment to congratulate all soon-to-be graduates! What you've achieved is so remarkable and we couldn't be prouder โค๏ธ

So, with that said: If you're planning to walk at the graduation ceremony (which is on May 8th), you will need to purchase a graduation cap, gown and tassel from us. ๐Ÿ˜ Simply visit us at the Muscle Shoals campus to purchase one!

Don't be shy to come on down to try it on, get our feedback if desired, make a memory, etc. We'll have fun with it! I promise if you're the overthinking type like us ("Why is that person's tassel a different color!? Am I wrong!?"), we will do our best to ease those anxieties and answer any questions.

If you are a Nursing student, you will require a gold tassel and a gold "Nursing" stole that we will oh-so gladly sell you. ๐Ÿ’› If you are not a nursing student, you will get the classic red tassel โค๏ธ

Mmmkay, yeah, I think that's everything for now, friends ๐Ÿ˜

Again: Visit us at the campus bookstore to purchase your black cap, gown and tassel bundle at $67.98. Tassels are available for individual purchase, too, at $8.98. And, of course, a fine selection of graduation souvenirs (official frames) and keepsakes - plus, new merch ๐Ÿ˜

See you then! ๐Ÿค— And congrats, grads! ๐Ÿ–ค

(Disclaimer: Our store mascot, Jerome, will in fact not be graduating as he has decided to indefinitely stay and devote his life to serving the promotional needs of the bookstore ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Oh, I don't know...maybe NEW MERCH post? ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’™โค๏ธ No biggie ๐Ÿคท

So, yeah, this happened!

Super-stoked to announce we got in some oh-so ever-coveted new logo items to welcome into our fold here at the Bookstore! ๐Ÿ˜

I hesitate to break-the-fourth-wall but, hey, we're all friends here, and it's no secret it has been a hot minute since we got in some new clothing. We thank you all for being patient and kind and supportive, still. Your requests have not fallen on uncaring ears and, at last, may these new items be to your Patriot heart's desire โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™

โ€ขPolos - just in time for Spring! ๐ŸŒท I think per the season and the upcoming golf team that is in the works, we've had a lot of requests for polos and, well, here they be in all their collard

โ€ขHalf-zip long sleeve shirt - very comfy, athletic-y, lightweight material.

Some fun little accessories to also perpetuate your aforementioned school patriotism ๐Ÿ˜‰

โ€ขKeychain! Finally may the keys to your kingdoms be complimented with this.

โ€ขDecal of the school's logo. Nothing says, "I am proud student..." like putting this on your car and declaring it to all the world who encounter you on the open road.

In case you missed it: Lanyards - selling pretty fast, fyi! ๐Ÿ‘€

Yes, for those who appreciate variety, we still have a fair selection of the former logo.

Got some more new stuff in the works, too ๐Ÿ˜

Happy days, friends! โค๏ธ

๐Ÿšจ New Item! ๐Ÿ‘€ Official NWSCC lanyards! โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

Pretty rad item we got in last week! Lanyards galore! ๐Ÿ˜

Genuinely kinda love these designs. Like, sure, of course, in the name of consumerism I am going to speak positively of this item...but, like, kinda legit cool, no?

Finally may your keys and/or IDs be adequately contained and tastefully displayed in the name of school spirit ๐Ÿ˜†

Some more new merch dropping this week, too, friends ๐Ÿ˜‰ So stayed tuned for upcoming developments ๐Ÿ˜

Older (albeit smaller) ones on sale, too BTW ๐Ÿ‘€

Vitamin Water ยฎ! ...Now a thing at the bookstore ๐Ÿ’

Believe it or not: We had a student put in a request unto our oh-so congenial ears to see if we could start carrying this desired product. So, we asked. And...well...I guess if you saw the picture and/or read the opening sentence, you'll see we prevailed with that task and that we successfully were able to add this to our selection of liquid offerings ๐Ÿ˜ ...and, also, it helped that Vitamin Water is a Coca-Colaโ„ข owned product, but happy we could provide nonetheless! ๐Ÿ˜

Actually, all attempts at witty IG banter aside, I am being totally serious when I say how we are *your* campus bookstore and, thus, we want you to, uh, (don't say "take advantage of us" because that's a weird and creepy saying) utilize our presence / make the most of us!

Like, you want something we don't have? Bring it to our attention, friends - we'll advocate for you and try and see if we can make it happen! ๐Ÿค— It matters because *you* matter and your support is what lets us continue doing what we love, too! โค๏ธ

We appreciate your feedback and want to make your experience with us as awesome as it can be!

Oh and, like, while on the subject of drinks - Monsterโ„ข drinks are still 2 for $5. Yay, caffeine (a stark contrast from flavored water, I admit ๐Ÿ˜†). I also just personally find a fridge full of well-stocked drinks to be aesthetically pleasing ๐Ÿ˜

Holiday gift ideas post perhaps ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽ Happy Holidays, friends! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

I mean, what kind of bookstore would we be if we didn't take a moment during the holidays to plug merch ๐Ÿ˜†

Yeah-yeah consumerism and, sure, of course we - the Bookstore - are going to consider anything we have in our store as being "the perfect gift." ๐Ÿ˜† We promote self-awareness here ๐Ÿ˜ But, honestly, a lot of these would make some good last-minute Christmas or Hanukkah gifts to family or yourself. Take it from personal experience: My family actually really appreciated having some merch from the school in which their (hopefully) loved one was attending. Kinda made them feel like they were being supportive and included on that journey.

Oh! I mean, yes, we are a college bookstore and, thus, the majority of aforementioned books are going to be textbooks, but did you know we have "fun" books too? Or "General Interest" perhaps is the tech term. I've actually bought a few of the local interest books myself for family I know they'll dig.

Plus, you can never go wrong with headphones ๐ŸŽง The waterproof speakers - in the opinion of this oh so humble account curator - would make a neat gift in the sense of being one of those type things you'd never think to buy for yourself but, like, sure if somebody gave one to you, you'd use it perhaps. Scented pencils and pens would make an excellent stocking stuffer, too.

Anyway, sales pitch over... Interpret all the information as you will ๐Ÿ˜

We will be open until the end of the week....which, like, is tomorrow, so, y'know, come on down to our educational emporium of holiday offerings while you can! ๐Ÿค— After that, closed for the year until January 2, 2025, bรฉbรฉ.

On a serious note: We - Jared, Angel, Lydia - at the bookstore truly wish you all a Happy Holiday season! Your kindness and support mean everything. We hope you are loved and are surrounded by it. We are proud of you all and to know you all and look forward to more good times in the next year. You're on our "Nice List" if it's any consolation ๐Ÿ˜‰ Might do a New Years post but, if not, see you next year and more exciting developments (maybe some new merch ๐Ÿ‘€)
