Buyback at the Coop!
The COOP will be conducting buyback on campus May 14th-23th from 11am to 6pm in the Lower Level of the Science Center. You can sell back your books and decide:

• to keep the money.
• to donate the money to Habitat for Humanity!

If you choose to donate the money, it will go towards funding 4 domestic and 3 international week-long trips during the 2008-2009 academic year, as well as our local building trips on the weekends year-round.

The list of textbooks that the Coop will be buying back for half price is linked below. This list is being continually updated, so even if you don't see your book on the list, you may still be able to get money for it.
