Used Book Collection for Resale
MATC works with a national used book vendor to offer textbook buy-back near the end of each semester (fall and spring). Buy-back prices are based on whether the text is ordered for sale the following semester. Some texts may only be sold for wholesale prices.
Used books are stock for sale along with new books. Supplies of used texts may be limited.
Olivia’s Gifts
Olivia’s Gifts is a small gift shop located within the college. It is operated by fashion-marketing and small business operations students and serves MATC students, staff, faculty, and nearby residents. Students design the decor each year, establish the image, create the promotional materials and buy and sell the merchandise, which varies each season. A customer usually finds a good selection of gift items, greeting cards and note papers, bath products, office items, jewelry, CDs, glassware, wicker, and plush animals. This shop serves as a laboratory for fashion-marketing and small business operations students and provides the opportunity to try out theories and facts learned in class.
