Welcome to the Carleton College Bookstore
The Carleton Bookstore prides itself in its role as a full service, independent campus bookstore owned by Carleton College. We are here to serve the needs of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Whether by providing campus course materials, supplies, Carleton clothing and gifts, or general reading books, the Carleton Bookstore is proud to accommodate the needs of the campus community.
Our store is also proud to serve the community of Northfield and the surrounding area. More than just a great campus bookstore, we offer full service to visitors to our community twelve months a year. Our branch bookstore in downtown Northfield, River City Books, is also provided as a benefit to the community by Carleton College.
We realize the important role we play in providing for the needs of the campus community, and we have an experienced, dedicated staff that strives to offer thorough and complete service to our customers.
We appreciate your patronage. When you buy from the Carleton Bookstore, your money supports student scholarships, organizations, and campus improvements. Your purchases directly benefit the Carleton community-and that's good for all of us.
We welcome your ideas and suggestions, and we hope you will stop by and visit. We look forward to serving you.
