Resurrection College Prep Book Buyback and Rental Return will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 28 and 29 from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm in the Lecture Hall.
Books have the most value when they will be used again next year at our school or at schools across the country. This is the best time of year to sell textbooks because demand is highest.

Booklists are available now on the Resurrection website. The booklist will also be posted over the summer on the Follett website. Let Follett keep an eye on the calendar for you! Sign up at www.reshs.bkstr.com/email for a reminder message when books become available.
If you have questions, or need help, contact Follett at 877-827-2665 or email K12CustomerService@fvb.follett.com.
