ASUN bookstore in Crowley Student Union opening

The ASUN Bookstore (owned by the Associated Students of the University of Nevada) is entering a new era, with more room — and with more options for merchandise and service — when it moves locations from the Jot Travis Student Union to the new Joe Crowley Student Union, next to Lawlor Events Center.

The cross-campus migration of the bookstore began on Oct. 31. By Nov. 5, the new two-story bookstore on the northwest end of the building will be in full operation with a slew of new and improved features.

One improvement is the new 1,600-square-foot convenience store located within the bookstore’s confines. The convenience store will be open seven days a week until 9 p.m., except on Sundays when the store closes at 7 p.m.

The new bookstore will also aim to better serve the student population with an expanded line of Wolf Pack apparel for women and small children.

The general book area is warm and inviting. Events such as book signings and discussions can now take place near one of the fireplaces inside the store.

One of the more noticeable changes in merchandise will come with the new installation of the Clinique counter. Research found that many other college bookstores had such health and beauty outfits were very successful and popular with the campus community.

In the end, the bookstore will direct its profits towards financing student activities and scholarships.
