Do you need a package shipped and don’t have time to get to the nearest
shipping outlet? Are you looking for a new dining option to try in the area?
Do you need to get a gift for that special someone? Have you needed a particular
resource to complete a research project and didn’t know how to search
for it?
You can do all of this and more at Brewton-Parker College.
There are certain facilities and services
on BPC’s main campus in Mount
Vernon that are available not only to BPC students, faculty, and staff, but
to the general public as well.
The Fountain-New Library houses a wide variety of resources sure to aid any
type of research project. All materials are available and free for public use
while visiting the library. Should the checkout of any books be necessary,
a one-time $10.00 checkout fee is required with a limit of five books per checkout.
During summer semester, the library is open
Monday – Thursday 8:00 a.m. – 10:00
p.m. and on Fridays 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. During fall and spring semesters,
the library is open Monday – Thursday 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m., Fridays
8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Saturdays 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m., and Sundays

The Campus Post Office, located in the Phillips
Student Center, is affiliated with the United States Postal Service and offers
the same mail services found

The Phillips Student Center is also home
to the Campus Store. From textbooks to office and computer supplies, the
Campus Store has a wide inventory of items
that will appeal to more than just students. The Campus Store is also a gift
shop featuring BPC apparel and other novelty items. Some unique gift ideas
include candy and balloon bouquets which are created by the Campus Store staff.
Historical books about Brewton-Parker and Montgomery County are also sold and
the Campus Store is the county’s exclusive retailer of Hallmark cards.
The Campus Store also offers a shoe repair service. Utilizing the services
of a local repair shop, shoes may be dropped off at the Campus Store and picked
up once the repair is complete.

The Aramark Corporation is responsible for
providing all meals on campus through the Cyber Café and the Residential Restaurant, both of which are also

pizza, and other short order items including Freshens Smoothies. The Residential
Restaurant has a wide selection of entrees and desserts which are served buffet
style and includes a full-service salad bar.
During summer semester, the Cyber Café is closed while the Residential
Restaurant is open Monday – Friday serving fifteen meals per week. However,
both will be open again seven days a week starting in the fall, with the Residential
Restaurant serving a traditional Sunday lunch buffet each week. There are also
plans to publish all menus beginning this fall on BPC’s website – www.bpc.edu.
In addition to the meals provided on campus, Aramark offers catering services.
