Fundraising Events

At the end of the Fall and Spring semesters each year, the GSA teams up with Better World Books to support various organizations by providing quality college books.

What is Better World Books?
Better World Books is a self-sustaining, for-profit social venture whose mission is to capitalize on the value of the book to fund literacy initiatives locally, nationally and around the world. Better World Books has partnered up with such organizations at the National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) and Books for Africa (BFA). Books donated by UNL have gone to help both of these organizations in the past. For more information please visit Better World Books and National Center for Family Literacy.

How can you help?
Save textbooks that you no longer wish to keep until the end of the semester. Then, donate your books by placing them in the green and orange bins around campus. In addition, you can encourage your friends and colleagues to do the same. We will accept any textbook or book.
