Nebraska Book Co. laid off an undisclosed number of employees in Lincoln on Thursday.
Company spokeswoman Julie Himmelberg said in an email that the company is "realigning its distribution center workforce resources to better match the seasonality of the industry."
Himmelberg said the change will mean that the company will shift toward employing more temporary workers to give it the flexibility to ramp up the workforce as needed during busy times.
She declined to say how many permanent jobs Nebraska Book cut.
Himmelberg said the move was related to the company's sale of its college bookstore division in 2015, a move that resulted in 60 local workers losing their jobs at the time.
Since the sale, she said, Nebraska Book has been focusing more on technology and services while continuing to support the wholesale textbook operation.
