Yes
A brief description of the textbook exchange program, textbook lending library, or alternate textbook project:
At the end a semester, students can donate their textbooks to the Rummage Room. The Rummage Room is a "free store" run by students for students. Students can take what they need, and then donate them back to the Rummage Room.
Many academic programs also offer resources for free online through a digital platform, so there may not be a need for a physical textbook to be purchased. The library also has some textbooks in stock for students to check out.
