Process for Returning Spring 2020 Lending Library Textbooks: 

• If you are local or plan to be around the NKU campus in the coming weeks, you are now able to return your books to a Steely Library drop box. 
• There are two drop box locations: 
  • Steely Library Circle 
    
  • Steely Library Plaza 
• If you return your book to one of the drop boxes, please send an email to ucap@nku.edu to let us know of your return. We will then document your textbook as returned. 
  
• If you are not able to return your textbook to one of the dropboxes, please send an email to ucap@nku.edu to learn about your options to return your textbooks. 

We will be extending the deadline to return textbooks into the summer semester. Therefore, if we are able to get to the books by the end of summer that will allow us time to prepare for Fall 2020 semester. We do encourage you to return the textbooks to us so that we can ensure that another NKU student will get to use this vital resource. 

If you have any questions, please do not hestiate to contact us at ucap@nku.edu or at 859-572-7527. 

Donate one or all of your textbooks to the UCAP Lending Library. All you have to do is drop off your books at any of the following locations:

• Front desk of the UCAP Office (UC 120). - Currently Unavailable. 
• Bin located in the Student Union (across from Starbucks).

Not sure if your textbooks are still usable? Just drop them off to us; all unused textbooks are recycled and UCAP gets credit to buy current textbooks to help our NKU community.
