     The College Store at Hobart and William Smith Colleges is a meeting place of, and an adjunct to, both the academic and social life of the Colleges.  It is an academically oriented resource and support where the need for, and interest in, reading and study engendered in the classroom can be nurtured and reinforced. The College Store is also a social focal point on the campus offering many goods and services required by a diverse college community; academic, alumni, alumnae, parents, guests, and members of the local community.
     The purpose of The College Store is to provide for the sale of book and supply requirements connected with the academic programs of the Colleges and the sale of other related supplies and services to support the academic mission.
     In addition to textbooks and supplies The College Store fulfills its commitment to a community that reads by supporting a General Book department that offers over 15,000 titles in 45 categories. Additionally, The College Store helps to promote the proud image of the Colleges through the sale of a wide selection of sportswear and gift items.
