The University of California, Merced is the first major University to be built in California in the 21st century. The Bobcat Bookstore opened at the beginning of Fall 2005, and then had a Grand Opening for our current location at the Kolligian Library on December 5th, 2005.

UC Merced's Bobcat Bookstore does more than distribute textbooks; it’s also your main source for Bobcat apparel and a convenient place to pick up school supplies or snacks.  In addition, The Bobcat Bookstore has joined forces with Apple Computers to provide the best products at academic pricing.

Books and Class Materials

 
The Campus Bookstore brings a modern touch to the tradition of high-quality bookstore service with online ordering.  New or used class textbooks can be purchased through the online bookstore.  You can shop from the comfort of your own home — or anywhere you decide to log on.  Books will be delivered to campus, bundled together by our staff, and marked with your name and ID for pick up in the Textbook Annex.  At the end of the semester, the bookstore buys back used textbooks for cash!

to you at the best possible price.  With academic pricing, there is no need to shop anywhere else.  The Bobcat Bookstore also carries a large assortment of batteries, calculators, cables and peripherals to link you up to the digital lifestyle student’s demand.

Located just off the main entrance to the library, the Bobcat Bookstore and Lantern café are sure to be a hub of activity. The cafe will serve up top-quality brewed coffee and your favorite espresso drinks.  You can also choose from a variety of café-style menu items.
