The Big Buckyball Bye-Bye Bonanza Blowout! (Or something)

Buckyballs are on sale!

"What are Buckyballs?" you may ask.

Well, have you ever sat at your big comfy office desk and thought to yourself, "man, I sure could use a set of 216 magnetic beads that can be molded into the shapes of various wacky objects"? I know I have.

I'm naturally a curious person, so whenever the OTC Bookstore gets a new product, I'm usually eager to check it out. And when my boss put a set of these strange new "Buckyballs" on the front counter for our amusement, they had to be put to the fun test. And have fun with them we did. I mean c'mon, look at the cool stuff you can do with these things:



                                    


But maybe you like your magnetic desk toys in forms other than that of tiny beads. How about bars? How about in a variety of colors? What if you want 'em in triple their normal size? The OTC Bookstore sells 'em all.

But not for long.

Unfortunately, due to issues with children swallowing them despite clear warning labels on every side of the package, the original Buckyballs in their wide array of colors are no longer being manufactured (BuckyBars and BuckyBigs will not be affected). That means the ones we have in the store are the last ones we'll ever carry. What's the OTC Bookstore to do?

Why, have a sale, of course!

50% OFF UNTIL THEY ARE GONE!  Please note that due to the potential swallowing hazard, we cannot sell the product to anyone under the age of 14 or anyone that is purchasing Buckyballs accompanied by anyone under 14.

So pick up your Buckyballs today! Because once they're gone, they're gone forever!

A Few Friendly Reminders

We’re nearing the end of the semester. That means things are about to get busy around here. Here’s a handy-dandy list of the latest goings-on:

-Registration for classes is now open. You can either reserve your classes online at the OTC website or do so in person at Student Services in Springfield or the main offices in other OTC locations.

-If you’re looking to reserve your textbooks, Textbook Reservation (TextRes) is now open. To make things simple for you, you can reserve your books RIGHT NOW by clicking this handy dandy link right here. Please note that if you are enrolled in the Branson or Waynesville campuses, your books will automatically be reserved for you. All you have to do is come pick them up. More info in a future blog post.

-Financial Aid (MyPay MyWay) will be available for use on Monday, December 17^th. YOU CANNOT CHARGE YOUR BOOKS TO FINANCIAL AID UNTIL THAT DAY.

-On a more lighthearted note, our Big Buckyball Bye-Bye Blowout Bonanza (or B6, as I like to call it) starts Monday (okay, actually I made up the entire name). 10% off all Buckyballs! More info on that Monday. My boss also has cryptically mentioned something about Star Wars and ping pong balls on our Facebook page. Color me curious.

(A note from the boss) -December Book Buyback starts on Monday December 3rd! Oddly enough the same day that the Springfield campus will understand the connection between ping pong balls, Star Wars, and Cash 4 Books! Don't worry Lebanon, Waynesville, Branson, and Richwood Valley you'll also get to experience some fun things too! (end of the stuff the boss wanted to add)

So, as you can see, we're prepping for a lot of stuff at the OTC Bookstore, and we hope you'll all be along with us for the ride!
