Please call the store at 503-554-2540 to set up an appointment time, or feel free to order from our website.

Returning textbook rentals:

We understand that many students will need their rented textbooks over a portion of the break to study for finals. You are responsible for returning your textbooks to the Bruin Store (please do not drop them off at the Library) on or prior to the rental due date, which is Friday, Dec. 18.

If you are finished with your book early, you may come to check it in at any time. If you take it home, please mail it back to us at the address below. In order for your mailed book to be considered “on-time,” it simply needs to be postmarked by the due date.

Address for mailing textbook returns:

Bruin Store
409 Carlton Way
Newberg, OR 97132

Instructions for having someone return textbooks on your behalf:

It is acceptable for a friend or family member to bring your book by the Bruin Store on your behalf. They will need to have your first and last name, the phone number that was used for the rental account, and your patron ID number that is included in your rental reminder emails. However, if the rented book is damaged, the person who is checking in the textbook will be responsible for paying the damage fees.
