The CMU Bookstore is located on the second floor of the Student and Community Center on the Fayette, Missouri campus of Central Methodist University and is open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Saturday during special events.

Founded in 1854, Central Methodist is the only United Methodist Church-related university in Missouri, and welcomes qualified men and women of all faiths and from diverse backgrounds. Its wooded, historic campus hosts a faculty of teachers, mentors, and scholars dedicated to providing extraordinary attention to the individual learner. With offerings ranging from high-school dual credit to graduate studies and a total enrollment in excess of 5,100, its liberal arts and pre-professional programs are centered on a character core that has twice brought Central Methodist national recognition for its leadership in character education.  In recent years the University has attracted significant challenge grants regionally from the Mabee Foundation and nationally from the Kresge Foundation to help build a $15 million Student and Community Center on the academic quadrangle, to fund $5 million in major upgrades to its athletic facilities, and to complete a $5.8 million renovation of a historic campus building.
