Paperback Novel Service

Throughout the year, teachers may require students to purchase novels not found on the SMR book list. We provide a time saving service of placing orders for these books in the book store as a convenience to the students. The students are usually given a week to place the order at school but may find the title elsewhere. Our policy is that we only place orders that have been pre-paid as these books are special orders.
