The Book Loan program has been suspended for the 2009-2010 academic year, however, you can still check out books from our Book Library. See a list of available books via the link below under "Purpose."

Purpose

Applicants for the book loan program you must:

•    Be a full-time undergraduate student at the University of Louisville
•    Agree to return the textbook(s) to which the loan was applied by the last day of the semester

Process

1.    Review the list of available books.  If the book you need is in our library, visit the Cultural Center for check-out.
2.    Submit an on-line application to request funds to purchase the book on behalf of the Cultural Center, if the book you need is not available for loan from our library.
3.    Someone from the Cultural Center will contact you within 48 hours to tell you if you received a loan and for how much ($60, $80, or $100).
4.    Visit the Cultural Center to sign for and pick up your loan voucher. Vouchers will start being distributed January 12^th, 2009 and will continue until all money has been expended.
5.    Take the voucher to the Campus Bookstore (located in the SAC) and present it to the cashier at checkout. You are only allowed to purchase textbooks with the vouchers, nothing else (i.e., pens, paper, ink cartridges, coursepacks, etc.).
6.    NO OTHER BOOKSTORE WILL HONOR THESE VOUCHERS. If you do not use your voucher, return it to the Cultural Center immediately.
7.    Return the purchased textbook to the Cultural Center no later than April 30th, 2009. This will be added to the Cultural Center’s textbook library. Failure to return the textbook will result in your account being charged for the amount of the loan.

NOTE: Funds are limited. Loans are distributed on a first come first serve basis. Students are asked to demonstrate their need for the loan in the application.
