It’s amazing how much technology has progressed for college and graduate students since I graduated. I remember trudging to the Hofstra University and University of Missouri-Columbia campus bookstores, lugging books up the stairs and outside to my car. Then at the end of the semester I’d repeat the process so I could sell the books back for a few dollars. Thanks to Campus Book Rentals the entire process I endured can be handled with a few clicks online. Plus a percentage of every sale supports Operation Smile, a medical charity that relieves the pain of children born with cleft lip or cleft palate. Keep reading to learn more.

Flexible renting is available so you can rent for as little or as long as you need. If you drop a class, you can return the book you rented.

Operation Smile
Every three minutes, a child is born with a cleft palate or cleft lip. This affects their ability to smile, eat and talk. One in 10 born with a cleft will die before their first birthday. For each book rental, Campus Book Rental makes a donation to Operation Smile through its Making a Difference program: “We’re keeping our partnership with Operation Smile and have committed to donate a minimum of 80 additional surgeries between June 2013 and June 2014.”

RentBack
Think about the textbooks you or your children own. Instead of a buy back option, you can just rent them to other students on your own.

I so wish something like this was around when I was in school. I imagine quite a bit of my loans were for books I wasn’t able to sell back!
That would have been nice to rent! I think most of mine were sold back, but significantly less than what I paid.
So much better for everyone all the way around. Less cost, not having to worry about trying to resell. It always seemed they had changed versions of the textbook and I was stuck with it 🙁
Wow this is a great cause. I remember staying up late and watching infomercials about this program. Wish I had college students so I can help out.
