Rental Returns and Buyback

As the semester is coming near the end, your rentals will soon be due. (May 3)

Please remember if you rented a book, you do not own the book and it can not be sold back for money. Please take all rentals to the front register and check your books in. It is the renter's responsibility to ensure books are checked - in and not sold back. You may refer to your receipt or online order invoice to see if you rented a book. Books that are not checked in by the due date will be charged to the securing credit card. (We would much rather have the book back!)

If you are selling back a book you purchased, please have your Augsburg ID in hand. Buybacks are conducted at the Book Information desk at the bookstore.
