Textbooks!

Yes. Those are boxes of pre-ordered textbooks piled high in front of my desk and blocking my view to the outside world. Must be close the first day of the Fall Semester.

Buy your textbooks now!!

It's still summer....we know...but you might want to start thinking about your textbooks for the upcoming fall semester. You can order your textbooks now on our website by clicking here.

If you've never ordered online, it's simple. Just go the website, register as a new user, choose the books for the classes you are taking and then choose the type of payment you'd like to use. The books will be here at the bookstore when you arrive on campus. Please remember to bring your order number and Skidmore ID (or any form of picture ID) when picking up your books. If you have multiple orders, please remember to bring all of your order numbers. All textbook orders are always held here at The Skidmore Shop for pick up.

If you are an incoming freshmen here at Skidmore, you won't receive your Skidmore ID until you arrive on campus. So please remember to get your ID first before coming to the Skidmore Shop to pick up your books.

If you have any other questions regarding textbooks, please feel free to contact us at 518-580-5490 or drop us an email at bookstore@skidmore.edu.

Now go enjoy the rest of your summer and we'll see you all of you in a few weeks...or less.

We'll be open on Sunday July 20th!

The Skidmore Shop will be open on Sunday July 20th from 11AM to 3PM for CTY session 2.  I'm just saying.
