YSU's new state-of-the-art bookstore opens Monday
YOUNGSTOWN
High above the ground floor of Youngstown State University’s new Barnes & Noble bookstore – which opens Monday at 8 a.m. – construction workers meticulously installed a 10-foot graphic depicting former YSU track runner Nina Grambling mid-stride.
The store – between Lincoln and Rayen avenues west of Fifth Avenue – is full of similar YSU imagery, from wall-sized block Y graphics to an army of Pete the Penguins adorning everything from oven mitts to golf balls.
There is a Starbucks Cafe connected to a convenient store, and rows of windows lining both floors of the two-story building, allowing for ample natural light.
And, of course, there are lots and lots of books.
