Bookstore, first, interior, photo 3

This image shows the interior of the College Bookstore, added in 1955, at Appalachian State Teachers College (1929-1967). Shelves holding school supplies, paper, and binders, can be seen, with two mirrors to help employees watch for shoplifters suspended from the ceiling. Three students can be seen selecting supplies in the center of the image. The bookstore operated in an old brick building at the corner of Locust St. and College Ave. from 1934 until 1967, when it was demolished to make way for the construction of a newer, larger University Bookstore, finished 1969. In addition to book sales and rentals, the store offered Appalachian State merchandise, office and school supplies, a soda fountain, and a snack bar.
