The end of the semester is fast approaching, which means it’s time to turn back in your rented books to the WSU bookstore.
Rented books are due Friday Dec. 11, and the bookstore will remain semi-open through appointments until the 18th.
How to give books back in person
The bookstore is open by appointment-only. For General Manager Elizabeth Russel, this is to keep everyone safe.
“Not only do [appointments] limit foot traffic, but it also gets people in and out by themselves without much issue,” said Russel. “Of course, masks are required on the floor, but that’s basically the same throughout the university.”
The last appointments will be the week of the 13th-18th of December and are open from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Through mail
If you rented your books in person, you are able to mail them back in. In order to mail your books back in, you first need your order number.
If you ordered your books online, you received your order number in the mail along with your books. If you got your books in person, you can find your order number in an email sent to you from the bookstore.
“If you bought your books in the store, you wouldn’t have gotten your order number right there,” Russel said. “What happens is we send you a reminder email just to let you know your books need to be back soon, and on that email, you will receive your order number, to then take to our website for a shipping return label.”
How do I make sure I’m doing it right?
“All I can suggest is to be very conscious of our social media,” Russel said. “That’s the quickest and easiest way to get information out. We post reminders, updates, and any changes that happen. Just be sure to get your books back to us.”
While you’re working on turning in your fall semester books, be sure to look ahead to spring semester as well.
“We’re focusing on getting our rentals right now, but we’re also preparing for next semester too… with shipping and everything, it helps us out to get our orders in sooner rather than later and get your books for you.” Russel said.
