In the fall of 2010 the University first implemented a textbook rental option into the Penn State Bookstore's offerings. During the past two semesters students have reaped more than $2 million in textbook cost savings by renting instead of purchasing new.

In addition to the textbook rental option, the Penn State Bookstore also offers used textbook sales, e-textbooks and new textbooks.
