This is the week to get cash for your books. Textbook Buyback is this week only, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Friday. Bring your books to the Textbook Annex.

Portland/distance-learning students may sell their books through our website and ship them to Neebo, instead of bringing them to Newberg (go to gfubookstore.com, click “Sell Textbooks,” select “Ship Textbooks by Mail” and follow the steps).

Also remember to return your rentals to the Annex or main store. Portland students may package their rentals addressed to BlueZone Store, #6229, and have the front office at the Portland Center send them via campus courier.

Questions? Contact Sandy Gidding at sgidding@georgefox.edu.

Returning in the fall? Keep your mailbox key over the summer. You will have the same mailbox in the fall.

Put your name and box number on the envelope. With key sealed inside the envelope, drop the envelope off at Mail Services (North Street Annex) or drop it into any “ON CAMPUS MAIL” slot.
