Campus Book Rentals helps Operation Smile make kids’ smile brighter. I have been out of college for quite a few years and my children are quite a few years away from college so I don’t know what’s happening in the world of college textbooks. I do remember the days of getting book lists and the subsequent sticker shock every semester. Now, this was before the major “book buy backs”, rentals, etc. so when I bought books I knew I had little hope of ever getting any of that money back. It would have helped a little if I knew my purchase was helping a cause like Operation Smile.
I wish I had Campus Book Rental when I was in school! I still have outdated textbooks languishing in boxes because Goodwill won’t take them and they will only be thrown away. I can’t do it. Campus Book Rentals gives you another option. You can rent your textbooks from them and save 40-90% of what you would spend buying them yourself. Plus you aren’t stuck paying shipping to get or return them. Have you ever shipped books?? The shipping is awful! Even better is the fact you are allowed to highlight sections you want in these books. Ever borrow a textbook and have to write down every excerpt you wanted to refer back to later? It gets old.
Not only can you rent books FROM Campus Book Rental, but you can also rent your textbooks to other people through their rent back program. Dig out those books. See what’s still use-able and start renting them out. Make money instead of fill space.
Here is what I like even more about Campus Book Rentals. They partner with Operation Smile. For every textbook rented through their site, Campus Book Rentals will make a donation to Operation Smile. Operation Smile is an international medical non-profit organization that performs cleft lip and palate surgeries on children whose families cannot afford the surgery. With operations going on in over 60 countries, Operation Smile has evaluated over 3.5 million children and teens and performed over 200,000 free surgeries in the last 30 years.
Need a college text book? Need to get rid of a college textbook or simply make a little money? Check out Campus Book Rental where your rental can make you and a child’s smile shine a little brighter.

Many of my students have used this service and they love it. I love it too because it means they actually GET the books. When the books are too expensive, students share or skip them – making it hard to do well in class!
Sharing a book is difficult. I mentioned my husband and I were in the same college. Well, we were married for several years of it and we tried sharing ONE book in ONE class. It did not work well. Not having the book at all, you may as well give up. It hurts your learning and grades so badly!!
