About Us


 The CSM College Store is the official bookstore of the College of Southern Maryland, proudly supporting our campus community with the tools needed for academic and personal success.

We provide all required textbooks and course materials for CSM’s academic programs, along with a wide selection of general interest books—from study aids and reference materials to popular fiction and nonfiction. Beyond books, our store offers an extensive range of merchandise, including CSM apparel, computers, art and photography supplies, basic school essentials, gifts, and much more.

To ensure students and faculty have what they need when they need it, we partner closely with academic departments and use the latest technology to maintain accurate, up-to-date course material information. Every product and service we offer is selected with the needs and interests of the CSM community in mind.

As a self-supporting part of the college, we are committed to exceptional service, professional standards, and ethical business practices. We recognize that students are our primary customers and the core of our mission, while faculty and staff rely on us as trusted partners in the educational process.

Whether you're preparing for class, showing your school spirit, or looking for everyday essentials, the CSM College Store is here to support your journey.
