The LMU Bookstore is here to support the campus community as the fall 2020 semester approaches, with everything from textbook and supplies to giving back to the community through donations and giveaways. Get to know what the LMU Bookstore offers and meet the staff, helping to get the campus prepared for academic success.
Students can get all their textbook and supply needs covered by shipping items directly to them. Textbooks are one of the most critical tools for a Lion’s success in the classroom and the LMU Bookstore is the trusted source for what textbooks and materials are required for classes. The bookstore also is strongly encouraging students to place orders online and have items shipped directly to them for fall. Options are available for students to rent and buy textbooks new, used, and eBooks with the ability to price match from BN.com, Amazon and local competitors.
Faculty can also adopt course materials in Faculty Enlight, the bookstore textbook platform. The platform offers the ability to view what was used in past semesters, see what peers are using across the country, review titles, request desk copies and so much more.
The LMU Bookstore offers personal and department discounts for faculty and staff, as well as support for book events and signings across campus for faculty and special guests. Do you need to freshen up your workspace, wherever that may be this year? Check out the bookstore for all of your LMU apparel, supplies, gifts and accessories needs.

Want to know more about the staff behind the LMU Bookstore?
Meet Dana Heathcott, store manager of the LMU Bookstore has been with Barnes and Noble for 19 years and this past year was her first at the LMU Bookstore. She loves interacting with the students and listening to what they have to say. “Being around them helps keep me young, and what I would like to think as ‘in the know.’ Overall, customer service is what keeps bringing me back. I want to make sure customers are being taken care of and feel like they are the number one priority in the bookstore,” said Heathcott.
Like many in the Lion community, Heathcott said her favorite spot on LMU’s campus is the bluff. “I love being able to see Los Angeles and the ocean all in one view. It is the most amazing thing,” said Heathcott.
Meet Jared Fembleaux ’20, supervisor of the LMU Bookstore who has been working with Barnes and Noble for about a year and started right before his senior year at LMU. For Fembleaux his favorite thing about working at the bookstore is seeing and speaking with prospective students. “It reminds me of why I love LMU so much and wanted to come to LMU in the first place,” he said. He also likes being able to help current students because “these are some of the toughest schooling years they will face and being able to help them succeed is really worthwhile,” said Fembleaux.
As an LMU alum, Fembleaux’s favorite spot on campus is the William H. Hannon Library or Xavier Hall. “I’ve spent many late nights in both buildings and each building offers calming, reclusive study areas for when you really need to get work done,” said Fembleaux.
