Finals week is approaching fast – and so is the time to sell back your textbooks. If you have any unwanted books that the bookstore can’t buy back, feel free to donate them to any of our Better World Book collection bins around campus.

We take all books. They will be donated, help raise funding for global literacy, or get repurposed. All books will stay out of landfills. The collection bins will be located in the Minthorn Mail Room, outside the Bruin Store and in the SUB.
