Finalists: Books for Library Fines

If you are in your final year at Keele and have any outstanding Library fines, we would be willing accept book donations against the value of these. Any books offered should be in good condition and cited on reading lists; We reserve the right not to accept books and wouldn’t offer more than a third of the value of the book when new; We are unable to give out cash but would offset the amount offered against the value any Library fines you may still owe. Please note … We are trialling this service to finalists only and will assess how effective it has been this year before deciding whether to offer it every year. Please go to the counters at either the Campus or Health Libraries if you would like more details.
