Keep Writers Choice for NEXT YEAR

Message I was told to pass on to you:

FRESHMEN, SOPHOMORES, & JUNIORS: two days for book returns; Wednesday, June 3 and Thursday, June 4, both days from 7 am – 1:30 pm. Underclassmen are NOT allowed to return books during the Senior return.

All returns and buy-backs take place in the ASB room.

·If a student fails to return any textbooks here on campus, it now becomes their responsibility to return their books directly to Follett through the mail. To do this, students must access the online bookstore through Saints’ website and click on the link for book returns. If students do this, they are financially responsible for the shipping costs. Therefore, don’t mess around and miss the on-campus returns.

·If a student “rented” a book, it must be returned or their parents’ account will be charged full price for a replacement book.
