A warehouse club with hundreds of locations around the world, Costco sells everything from food to clothing to appliances -- and much more.

But soon, you may not be able to get one sought after item in store: books.

The Washington-based retail giant is planning to remove its year-round book section from hundreds of stores, according to a summer report from The New York Times.

Instead of offering books year-round, shoppers might only see them at Costco around the holidays. Around 100 stores will likely keep books year-round, according to trade publication Publisher's Weekly.

NBC has reached out to Costco for comment on the reports.
