Donate or borrow a book

Looking for a book for summer semester 2020?

Due to national guidance on the coronavirus (COVID-19), and to remain in compliance with university and state policies, the UCAP staff is currently working remotely and is not available to conduct the in-person exchange neccessary to distribute the lending library textbook. Therefore, for the summer semester we WILL NOT be able to offer the lending library as a resource.

We know that this will definitely be in effect until at least the end of June. If anything changes and we are able to return to campus sooner, we will notify students of the lending library's availability. 

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

We do sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and wish you the best with your summer studies. 

PLEASE NOTE: THE BELOW PROCESS IS ONLY TO BE USED BY STUDENTS WHO BORROWED A TEXTBOOK FROM THE UCAP LENDING LIBRARY.

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.
