Vincentians needing books to complete the list for the new school year have a new way of getting their supplies: Connect with the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Teachers Cooperative Credit Union (SVGTCCU), order supplies online, and have them delivered to you.
Board Member and Treasurer Gilbert Frederick is “thrilled” by the new provision and considers it a “bold step into the future.”
He cites it as the first of its kind on these shores and notes that “technology has revolutionized the way we live, work and connect with one another.”
As far as Frederick is concerned, “this new platform will open doors to endless possibilities,” including benefits for customers and the Bookstore, and looks at the service as not only a convenience but also an advantage.
“This flexibility will enhance the overall shopping experience of our customers,” Frederick notes.
He welcomes the chance of sharing the “wonders of literature with a wider audience.”
There is the added value of personalized recommendations and a tailor shopping experience,” Frederick declares.
He is urging patrons to latch on to the new outlet so as to “create a vibrant literary community that transcends physical barriers and fosters a love for reading and learning.”
