Upstairs, the second floor will be renovated for future Austin Peay State University use. That project is currently being studied.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In January 2016, the University purchased 11 acres along College Street from the Jenkins and Wynne automobile dealership. A year and a half later, Austin Peay State University partnered with national book retailer Barnes and Noble to operate the campus bookstore, currently located in the Harvill Building across from the Morgan University Center.<\/p>\n<p>When the bookstore relocates to College Street next year, Barnes and Noble will continue to serve APSU students while also selling children\u2019s books, trade books, best sellers, office supplies and Austin Peay-branded merchandise to the public.<\/p>\n<p>In Tennessee, Barnes and Noble operates several campus bookstores, including retail stores at Vanderbilt University, University of Tennessee at Martin, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Sewanee: The University of the South.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For information on the bookstore, visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apsu.bncollege.com\/shop\/apsu\/home\" >https:\/\/apsu.bncollege.com\/shop\/apsu\/home<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clarksville, TN &#8211; Earlier this month, Fellowship Construction Inc. began renovation work at the corner of College and Fourth streets to convert a former Ford car dealership into the Austin Peay State University (APSU) new campus bookstore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5],"tags":[23,15115,34361,1355,262,22320,512,825,4682,10073,14625,34360],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4xGYI-7kN","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28197"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28197"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28197\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28198,"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28197\/revisions\/28198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
