The UI Bookstore offers a satellite site off the main lobby of the Idaho Commons. This store provides for our campus community many of the grab and go items that students need on a daily basis. This includes a variety of trade books, magazines, music, clothing, art and office supplies, limited electronic products, gifts, cards and candy. The textbooks are still located in the main UI Bookstore. Additionally, there is a large selection of art supplies due to the proximity of the College of Art and Architecture.

The Satellite Bookstore is open Monday through Thursday from 8am to 9pm, Friday from 8am to 6pm, and select Saturdays (Graduation, Jazz Festival, etc.)
