BibliU and the Jaguar Junction Bookstore

Johnston Community College (JCC) is expanding its partnership with BibliU, a leading provider of campus store and course material solutions, to include management of the JCC Campus Store beginning October 15, 2025.

Since the summer of 2023, JCC has partnered with BibliU to provide affordable, day-one access to digital course materials through the BibliU Access program. That program remains unchanged—delivering every student their required materials directly through Blackboard, with costs bundled into tuition at a fraction of traditional textbook prices.

The new agreement adds campus store management to this foundation, creating a more modern, student-centered shopping experience on campus. Under BibliU’s leadership, the JCC Campus Store will feature expanded spirit wear and merchandise, a broad selection of course supplies and everyday essentials, and streamlined services designed to make shopping easier and more convenient for students, faculty, and staff.

“From its truck driver training legacy to a beautiful campus arboretum, Johnston Community College reflects opportunity and growth. Since 2023, we’ve been proud to support JCC students through BibliU’s Access program, providing affordable course materials for all. Managing the campus store is the next step in that same mission — expanding access, affordability, and community support,” said Dave Sherwood, CEO and Co-Founder of BibliU.

Echoing that commitment from the campus perspective, Dr. Vern L. Lindquist, President of Johnston Community College, added: “Through our partnership with BibliU, we have launched a program that ensures students receive their digital course materials on day one, eliminating costly delays. This initiative not only supports academic success, but makes education more affordable by significantly reducing textbook costs.”

With more than 50 years in the campus store business, BibliU combines industry expertise with innovative solutions that support both affordability and student success.
