Bookstore
There are five Temple University Bookstore locations. Each store stocks the required books and supplies for the campus it serves. Course materials
may be purchased through the bookstore's web site for home delivery or pick-up in store. A student's booklist is accessible via a link on the Student
Roster in Self-Service Banner. Select textbooks may also be rented instead of purchased. Please contact the store for more details. In order to maximize
the number of used books available to students, the bookstore buys back from students books at the highest possible prices throughout the year. In
addition to housing required course materials, all stores feature clothing, souvenirs, and giftware imprinted with the Temple name. Graduation rings can
be ordered at any time. Academic regalia are available in the months preceding graduation.
You will also find a large selection of snacks, soft drinks, greeting cards, gift-wrap, posters, and health and beauty items.
During the first weeks of classes, store hours are extended at all locations. See signs posted at each location for specific hours during rush periods and
semester breaks.
During the summer and semester breaks, store hours may vary. Visit the bookstore (http://temple.bncollege.com) web site for more details.

The University provides Evening Shuttle services for those students living on and around the Main Campus. The OwLoop or Main Campus Shuttle
provides regular route service 7 days per week between the hours of 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. The TUr Door service, which also operates during the same
hours as the OwLoop, transports students directly to their off-campus residences. The OwLoop bus will be at every stop, indicated on the route map,
approximately every 30 minutes. Use this service to obtain secure, fast passage to all major Main Campus locations. The TUr Door service departs from
the Transportation Hub at 12th & Berks Streets near the Paley library. TUr Door will transport students directly to their off campus residences via the
fastest route possible. TUr Door shuttle operates within the area bordered by Cumberland Street to the North, Girard Avenue to the South, Fifth Street to
the East and Twentieth Street to the West. The two routes are distinguished by the lettering and appearance of the buses.
