A PDF of required textbooks for the 2020 - 2021 school year is available here.
For your convenience, OLP has partnered with Follett Virtual Bookstores as our official source for textbooks. Using the booklist provided by faculty, Follett stocks course materials in a variety of formats and seeks cost-effective solutions, such as rentals and used books, whenever possible. Another advantage to this partnership is that Follett will buy books back at the end of the year if they can be used again. We are in the process of building the 2020-21 online bookstore and it should be ready by mid-June. Please check your email for an announcement of its opening. If you are eager to purchase your textbooks now, please refer to the PDF or scroll down for a list of Required Textbooks and find those that are listed for the student's courses. It is critical that the ISBN matches exactly in order to ensure it is the correct edition.
