Back to School, Back into the Community!

It's that time of year again when you get to arm yourself with fresh pads of paper and crisp books. Getting your textbooks locally can be as simple as a phone call and swinging down to the shop to pick it up. Plus buying what you need from one of the local bookstores positively impacts our state through job creation and  increased revenue circulating back into the AZ economy more than chain stores. Most of the universities and community colleges have started or are picking up this week so if you were waiting to see if you really need that textbook consider phoning some of the following local stores before browsing to ordering it online.
