UNM end-of-semester move-out is a high-volume window for NMLP. Students cleaning out dorms, apartments, and Greek houses often have stacks of books the campus bookstore won't buy back (older editions, electives that don't trade in, foreign-language texts, supplementary readings, reference books).
NMLP picks up at:
- Hokona Hall, Coronado Hall, Laguna-DeVargas Hall, Lobo Village, Casas del Rio, Lobo Rainforest
- Off-campus apartments around UNM (Nob Hill, Sycamore, EDo, Silver Hill, Princeton)
- Greek houses on Mesa Vista and Sigma Chi Road
- Graduate-student housing along Yale and Lomas
- Faculty offices in Mitchell Hall, Dane Smith, Humanities, Social Sciences, the Castetter Hall complex (end-of-semester cleanouts and faculty retirements)
Recommended sequence for students with end-of-semester books:
- Try UNM Bookstore buyback first for required-text current editions (cash on the spot)
- Try Amazon trade-in for accepted titles (mail-in)
- NMLP for everything else — declined buybacks, electives, supplementary readings, foreign-language texts, art history textbooks, anything water-damaged or marked up
Free pickup, same-week or next-day. Call or text 505-250-3804. See UNM Textbook Donation Pickup.
