It seems as if we were just gearing up for a fresh new school year, yet all of a sudden, the words 'books for graduation gifts' have been popping up a LOT around Bulk Bookstore.

With springtime well under way, schools across the country, from preschool to universities, are preparing to send yet another well-educated bunch of future leaders out into the world (or, up to next grade level).

Graduation is often referred to as commencement, yet to commence, in a slightly different context, means “to begin.’’ At Bulk Bookstore, we’d like to think of our 2016 graduates as the beginning of a brighter tomorrow – and having been a part of their literacy education through the years, it’s only right that we offer up the benefits of utilizing some great reads as students go forth into their futures. After all, more than 3 million learners will be reaching another milestone graduation in just a few short weeks.

Although we are biased here at Bulk Bookstore, we believe the gift of a book is befitting of such a lofty accomplishment and thus ideal for graduation. Books inspire, educate and excite…and cover so many topics that you’re bound to find the perfect book for that special graduate.

As we all know, learning doesn’t end once our educational careers do. It’s the ongoing learning that transforms careers, relationships, and lives. As Harry Truman once said,

“Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.”

Recently, Duke University gave graduates from their Masters of Engineering Program a few classic works as a means to further drive the aforementioned notion. Choosing books that were relevant to the Duke University student population and reflective of the current professional landscape, students received gift bags with copies of David and Goliath, The Other Side of Innovation, and Disciplined Dreaming – books that offer practical advice and solutions with more opportunity for learning.

One classic that has held the test of time graduation after graduation comes from none other than Dr. Seuss. The man himself said, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” And with that, Seuss’ timeless piece, Oh the Places You’ll Go, has served as a little piece of inspiration and motivation for all grade school students, from preschool on up through high school, as they set out into the world a little bit older and a whole lot wiser.

The options for books as graduation gifts are endless. A personal favorite of the book specialists at Bulk Bookstore: 1 How Many People Does it Take to Make a Difference – an inspiring selection offering readers the opportunity to make the next five years of their lives the best ones yet – and who couldn’t use that kind of advice following graduation?

There are endless options – but whatever you choose, make sure to visit Bulk Bookstore for the best choices, individualized book specialist service, and timely delivery.

Congratulations on another great year!
