Free Books

Thank you for assisting us with our science deselection project last semester. Now we are in the process of redistributing the books that we have withdrawn from the collection.

Traditionally we send the books we withdraw to Better World Books  or to Greenville Literacy. However, based on several requests, we have decided to offer withdrawn books to the Furman community first. Books are in the following subject areas: agriculture, human anatomy, animal culture, microbiology, botany, mining, engineering, metallurgy, chemical technology, natural history, forestry, physiology, biology, plant culture, geology and zoology.

Available titles range from Algae and Human Affairs by Carole Lembi and Mostly About Trout by Sir George Aston to Atoms in Action by George Harrison and The Edge of Objectivity by Charles Gillispie. 

Please come by the Technical Services suite, room 004, in the lower level of the Duke Library (across from the ITS Helpdesk) between 9AM and 4PM Monday-Friday to make your selection. These books will be available until Thursday, February 18th.

  1. Hi! I manage a state park and will be in town the 17th and 18th. Would it be possible for me to take a look at the books? There may be some that we could use at the park. I greatly appreciate your consideration of my request.
