Hello Trailblazers!!

Due to a rise in fraud, the LCCC Bookstore has altered its approach to in-store pickups.
In addition to having your order number ready to give to any present Bookstore staff member(Ex: 21270000026603), you must have ID on-hand to also present to a staff member.

If someone else is picking up your order on your behalf, you must email a staff member that you are giving permission to do so.

A message such as "I John Doe, give permission to Jane Doe to pick up my order of 21270000026603" will suffice. That is the only way someone else can pickup on order an your behalf.

The following emails are valid for sending any permissions or questions to:

vyaroshenko@luzerne.edu hconway@luzerne.edu ljenkin@luzerne.edu

Note: When using Financial Aid in-person at the Bookstore, please have your ID then as well.

Luzerne County Community College (LCCC) has partnered with Maternal & Family Health Services (MFHS) to expand access to essential reproductive health resources by installing a new Reproductive Health Kiosk on the College's main campus.

The Reproductive Health Kiosk is located at the LCCC Main Campus in Nanticoke in the College Center on the 2nd floor.

The kiosk provides confidential, no-cost access to a wide range of reproductive health supplies, giving students the ability to take what they need--no cost, no judgment.

At Luzerne County Community College, we are committed to supporting the health and well-being of our students," said John Yudichak, LCCC President. "By partnering with MFHS, we're able to remove barriers to care and ensure our students have access to important resources right here on campus."

Each kiosk is stocked with:
Diapers Size 5 (3 ct.)
Baby Wipes (18 ct.)
Regular Hygiene Pads (3 ct.)
Multi-Absorbency Tampons (3 ct.)
Safer Sex Kit
External Condoms Standard (3 ct.)
External Condoms Large (3 ct.)
Internal Condoms (3 ct.)
Emergency Contraception (Generic Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg)
Pregnancy Test (1 ct.)

"These kiosks are about breaking down barriers to care and ensuring that individuals have access to the supplies they need, when they need them," said Betsy McGrath Andizoni, MFHS Director of Development. "We are proud to partner with Luzerne County Community College to bring this important resource directly to students."

The new kiosk is part of the College's ongoing efforts to connect students with resources that support their academic success and overall well-being.
