The Student Library Loan System
The Student Library Loan System is a collection of donated textbooks from current students enrolled in a diverse course load. This collection of books would be housed in the University Library, and can only be utilized by students who are considered need based. These students would be allowed to take out the textbook for a certain period of time outside of the library for their own study needs. This would assist students who have financial constraints to take advantage of their liberal arts education in the same way as students who do not have these obstacles.
How to drop off books
Books can be dropped off in the Library Book Drop outside of the Library
OR
Books can be mailed to the following address:
Drew University Library
36 Madison Avenue
Madison, NJ 07940
Please include a post-it/piece of paper noting the book is a donation, the class it is used for, and the name of the professor.
