Textbook buyback
The first of the two end-of-the-term textbook buybacks begins on April 16. There will be another buyback the following week, but that textbook you want to sell will probably no longer be taken. So don’t miss out; go early. Take your books to the campus bookstore during regular business hours. Visit camosuncollegebookstore.ca for more information.
