Textbook Rental Program

Based on student insight, we launched an innovative in-store and online textbook rental program on campuses across the nation. Since the program’s launch, more than 99 percent of students have stated they would rent from their campus bookstore again.

By participating in our textbook rental program, students can save more than 50 percent off the cost of buying a new textbook. And it’s convenient – students can rent while in the store or online using their bookstore website, with the option of in-store pickup or delivery. We also help them keep track of their rentals, reminding them of upcoming rental return deadlines via email.

Keeping Sales on Campus

And students aren’t the only ones who benefit. Textbook rentals help keep valuable textbook dollars on campus. Many of our campus partners accept a variety of payment methods for online and in-store rentals, including campus debit cards and student financial aid, making payments easy for everyone involved.
