Finding What Textbooks You Need on the SF State Bookstore Website

Once you determine the textbooks your instructors require for classes, you can choose to purchase books at the SF State Bookstore (either online or in-person), borrow a book from Project Connect with their Book Loan Program, or check out a short-term loan from the J. Paul Leonard Library.

(Purchases made online or in-store at the SFSU Bookstore benefit the students and the University. The University receives annual financial allowances from its relationship with SFSU Bookstore that are in turn used to help support the academic mission of San Francisco State University.)
