Online Bookstore
Lake-Sumter State College has a partnership with Akademos to bring the TextbookX platform to LSSC’s students. This new online bookstore platform is the official way to order course materials for your classes and offers campus pick-up, shipping to your home, and email delivery of electronic items.
Through the TextbookX platform, you have access to new and used textbooks, digital textbooks, access codes, and other course materials. This streamlined digital platform offers these materials at a cost-savings from a traditional bookstore.
