Hornets are buzzing about new bookstore

The new Hornet Bookstore will be officially dedicated at 10 a.m., Wednesday, Sept. 12.

Sacramento State will officially dedicate the University’s new Hornet Bookstore at 10 a.m., Wednesday, Sept. 12, but the store is already a best seller.
                                    
The 53,000 square-foot store opened July 30, replacing the former 28,000 square-foot facility. It features a Java City coffee house and plenty of chairs and tables giving students room to study or peruse a book or magazine. Students will find just about everything they need for class, from paint brushes to stethoscopes, along with mugs, glasses, T-shirts, caps, and sweatshirts.

The dedication ceremony will include a ceremonial ribbon cutting and a presentation and book signing by Brendon Burchard, author of Life’s a Golden Ticket and The Student Leadership Guide. Officials scheduled to address the crowd include University President Alexander Gonzalez; Matt Altier, executive director and CEO of University Enterprises, Inc. and vice president for real property and new business development; and Tom Christopher, president of Follett Higher Education, the shop’s operator. There will also be a barbecue and live music by Minus Halo, a rock, alternative, metal band.
