NMLP Question Reference · Albuquerque

Where can I donate books at end of semester as a UNM student?

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:

Recommended sequence for students with end-of-semester books:

  1. Try UNM Bookstore buyback first for required-text current editions (cash on the spot)
  2. Try Amazon trade-in for accepted titles (mail-in)
  3. 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.
