Bonjour mes amis!
Are you tired of purchasing overly expensive textbook in September and then realizing in December you can only sell them back for next to nothing? If so, we have a solution!
This year, the Brandeis French and Francophone Club has been in the process of organizing a free, Francophone library consisting of both recreational books and required course textbooks. We hope to offer students of French an alternative to purchasing expensive books for their courses, thus saving money.
In order to do that though, we need your help! We are asking students who have completed their French courses this semester (or in previous semesters) to donate their books to our new Francophone library. By all means, feel free to see if you can sell back your books. But if the bookstore or Amazon do not offer you much, please consider giving to future students. Look at it this way, if all the students in French 32 donate their textbooks and workbooks, then none of the students taking French 32 next semester would need to buy a book.
If you want to help, please bring your books for donation to Ellen Rounseville in Shiffman 108 before the end of finals (her office is almost directly in front of the main entrance). If you forget or would like to look at home for books from past courses, we will also be collecting donations in the Spring.
On behalf of every French student at Brandeis, I’d like to thank you in advance for helping to cut down on textbook costs.
Amitiés,
Brandon Sousa
P.S. – Your donations do not have to be from a prior course, they can be an
French related book you no longer want or need.
