It's that time of year! The Hutchins + Sustainability Free Textbook Program is BACK - Get Your Textbooks FREE!

Before classes kick off, skip the bookstore price tags - Hutchins Library and the Office of Sustainability are bringing you two awesome ways to grab your course materials completely FREE!

Option 1: The Free Textbook Virtual Store (Donated Physical Copies)
Check out our donated inventory in the CampusGroups Virtual Store and lock in your copy before someone else grabs it!

See our Free Textbook Program Here: https://berea.campusgroups.com/store?store_id=1

Pick-Up Location: Right near the Reference desk and printers on the main floor of Hutchins Library.

How Holds Work:
Orders placed NOW (before the semester starts): We will hold your book at the Reference Desk until 24 hours after the first day of classes (August 19th)!
Orders placed after classes start: Books are held for 24 hours from the time you place your order.
Unclaimed Books: If you don't pick it up within your 24-hour window, the hold expires and it goes to the next student!

Option 2: Ebooks & Physical Stacks List
Can’t find your textbook in the Virtual Store? We’ve got you covered! Explore our curated list of course materials available online as library Ebooks or on our physical library shelves.

See our online Ebooks and physical stacks listing here: https://berea.campusgroups.com/store?store_id=3

Quick Note: Because materials depend on donations and library holdings, we can’t guarantee every class textbook will be available - but always check first! You just might save big this semester.
