Bookstore to Offer Textbook Rental Program
Beginning this fall, the Truman State University Bookstore will offer students a new, multi-channel textbook rental program.
The textbook rental program will allow students to rent their textbooks from the Truman Bookstore for less than 50 percent of the cost of purchasing a new, printed textbook. Students will now also be able to rent their books either in the store or from the store’s website http://truman.bkstore.com.
Students can highlight or mark the rented books just as they would if they purchased a book and planned to sell it back to the bookstore. Students will also have the opportunity to convert their rental to a purchase during the first two weeks of class. Students must return rented books in person no later than 10 days after the last day of finals or mail them to the bookstore.
Barnes & Noble began piloting their rental program earlier this year at 25 campus bookstores across the country. More details about the rental program will be available in the coming months at http://truman.bkstore.com.
