FAQ

We will reach out to you at the end of the semester to remind you to return your books! Look out for an email from us!

You can drop off donations in the purple bin outside the Center for Student Support office (the yellow house on 13th street).

Unfortunately, our office is unable to provide a live view of what has been taken. Please send us an email at studentsupport@pugetsound.edu, and we can check to see if we have it in stock elsewhere. 

No worries! You can hold onto the book as long as you need it. Just send us an email at studentsupport@pugetsound.edu, and we will make a note to reach out to you at the end of the next semester. Please remember that this is a service that works on a donation basis, so if you no longer need the book, please return the book(s) to the library for future students to use.

As a campus community we strive to promote the well-being and success of all of our students. To help defray the costs of course materials, the Center for Student Support hosts an on-campus lending library. The lending library presents an opportunity for students to borrow academic books and textbooks for classes free of charge. It also presents an opportunity for students to support their fellow Loggers by donating used books to the collection.
