This sounds like a great opportunity for students. I teach online and am always interested to hear about different options for schools. I will be reading more about Grantham so that I can share info with my students.

Your bookstore sounds very convenient. It's a real plus that students can study online and use hard-copy textbooks to support their learning. Sometimes e-books are useful, but it's nice to have the option to have physical copies of books, especially when an online student is already spending a lot of time looking at a screen to do coursework. It's nice to be able to take a break from the screen and look at the page of a book!
