Bismarck State bookstore now renting books

Textbook rentals could cut costs for Bismarck State College students heading back to school.

Students can rent books for English 110, communication 110 and statistics through the BSC bookstore. The cost varies by book.

The statistics book, for instance is $40 to rent compared with paying $120 to purchase new, bookstore manager Tanya Fuher said. Used books cost three-fourths of the price of a new book.
