MTI Book Store

MTI Book Store General Information

Manatee Technical Institute Book Stores are owned and operated by the School District of Manatee County. The Book Store staff strives to provide a variety of quality products at reasonable prices in a friendly, customer-service-oriented environment.

All proceeds from the MTI Book Stores are used to support MTI programs, services, and facilities. We are fully aware there are other sources available for purchasing course materials. However, students who attend MTI are the sole reason for our existence; we thank you for choosing MTI as your training partner and the MTI Book Stores for your program supplies.

Our goal is to provide the required course materials needed when they are needed. These materials include new and used textbooks, customized books for particular programs (CJA), e-books or e-access, study materials, and supplies at the best price possible . Please note, that all textbooks are selected by each program director and/or instructors who teach the course. As the departments and instructors submit their requests in the form of requisitions, the BookStore orders those specific textbooks that were requested for your program . BookStore personnel do not choose nor select what textbooks are used in each program; the BookStore is merely the site for the sale of the items.

Thank you again, for shopping at the MTI Book Stores.

Customer Satisfaction Is Our Goal

Due to budget and staffing cuts, your wait for assistance may be a little longer than we would like. Thank you in advance for your patience as we strive to serve you.
