Returning Textbooks? Read This First!

We've noticed some students are accidentally returning their textbooks to the Library instead of the Barnes & Noble Bookstore. While the Library and Bookstore work together to support your success, they are separate locations with different services.
If you use the Library's book drop to return bookstore textbooks, please be sure to include your name with the books. Without your name, we have no way to identify who returned them, and you could be held responsible for the cost of the textbooks.
To avoid any issues: Return your textbooks directly to the Barnes & Noble Bookstore whenever possible.
If you must use the Library drop box, clearly include your name with your books.
We'll also be sharing this information during new student orientation to help everyone understand the difference between the Library and the Bookstore.
Thank you for helping us make the textbook return process as smooth as possible. We're here to support your success every step of the way!
