Does the institution host a peer-to-peer textbook exchange program, textbook lending library, or alternate textbook project?:
A brief description of the textbook exchange program, textbook lending library, or alternate textbook project:
The Reroom project that is one of our community based programs allows students to donate their gently used books where we in turn sell them the following semester for pennies on the dollar to students in need. Also our Office of Student Affairs has a lending library where many of our donated books find their home and students can borrow books for a Semester free of charge.
