Temple University Bookstore — Local services in Philadelphia

My husband and I were visiting our son (a freshman) for parents weekend at Temple University.

As my husband and I stood outside of the store, several other families walked up to the sign and were greeted with disappointment. We hope when we visit in the future, this will have been changed. For now, if we have to order online, it likely won’t be directly from the campus store.
