 * BANGOR** - It’s getting close to that time of year where college students are ready to clean up, pack up, and head home for the summer.

“It is best to sell the books back during or near the week of final exams,” said Janet Francoeur, the manager of the Husson bookstore. “We can look up books and if students are not satisfied with what we can offer, then they do not have to sell it back.”=====

The book swap is a way for students to buy and sell back their textbooks to other students for reasonable prices. The program however, like the Husson bookstore, does not guarantee that students will get as much money back as they originally paid for the book, or will even get the book sold at all.=====

“The book swap has been an ongoing thing and it seems to be working quite well for a lot of NESCom students,” said Katie Leighton, NESCom’s Financial Aid Coordinator. “We don’t want to take away from what the Husson bookstore has to offer, since they are a business. Either way we all just want to help students buy and sell books and get the most money back that they can.”=====

“I’ve tried selling my book online before as well as the Husson bookstore and the NESCom book swap,” said Mary Collins, a student at Husson University. “I didn’t get good results online, but the bookstore and the book swap both helped get me the most money so if anything, I’d recommend trying those options.”=====
