Books get a second life with reinvestment and reuse through Better World Books

By
Starting in 2014, the University Library established a relationship with Better World Books where we send books that have been withdrawn from our collection and books from our book sale that do not sell.

This project with Better World Books has returned $1,731 to our library, which we reinvest in our Leisure Reading Collection. A portion of those sales is also distributed to the Nicaragua Partnership, which has received $577 in the last two years.

Below you can review the environmental metrics (and explanation of values) in an effort to limit the environmental impact by reusing these books.
