Save Money by Renting
Some books are available to rent instead of purchasing.
- To rent, you will need a credit card to use as collateral.
- Rentals that are not returned by the due date will be subject to fees.
- Book waivers will also need a credit card for collateral.
- If the rented book(s) is not returned by the due date, your collateral credit card will be charged non-return fees.
Returning Rented Books
- Spring semester rented books need to be returned to a bookstore by May 16, 2022.
- Summer semester rented books need to be returned to a bookstore by August 1, 2022
- You may drop rented books in any campus library book drop.
- Books are checked in by the bookstore after they are picked up from the library.
- Do not return books you have purchased!
- If you want to sell books you've purchased, you will need to use the Online Book Buyback service provided by Nebraska Book Company.
- Placing a slip of paper with your name and phone number inside your dropped books is a good idea. Rental bar codes are attached to the renter information, but purchased books do not have any bar code connection to the owner. If you drop books to sell, you may not get them back.
