Hello

I hope you will join FreeTheTextbooks, a nationwide nonprofit movement to make textbooks affordable for 21 million college students. (You know how much we are all overpaying). There are three parts to it:

1.   We are all signing the petition to pressure the college administration to change textbook policies, which could easily save students billions of dollars a year.

2.   We are connecting through the site’s used book exchange to buy and sell student-to-student. By cutting out the bookstore middleman, we get more when we sell and pay less when we buy.

3.   We are doing all we can to make this go viral. The bigger it gets, the more we all benefit. Please help make it happen.

Thanks!

Hello

As you know, the skyrocketing cost of college textbooks undermines academic performance and financial security of many students.

I am writing to encourage student government’s support of FreeTheTextbooks.org. This nationwide nonprofit movement will help make textbooks affordable for students at our school and across the country for years to come. The movement has three parts:

1.   Petition: Students, teachers, parents, and others are signing the petition to pressure college administrations to change certain school policies on textbooks. That could easily save students billions of dollars a year.

2.   Student organizations: Student organizations are joining the movement. They are creating a page on the site to show their support and to rally their members.

3.   Used book exchange: Bookstores often buy a student’s used book for very little, and then re-sell it to another student at a huge profit. FreeTheTextbook’s used book exchange connects us so we can buy and sell student-to-student. By cutting out the bookstore middleman, we get more when we sell and pay less when we buy.

I encourage the student governm ent to:
- pass a resolution in support of this movement
- join the movement as a student organization
- encourage all students and student organizations to participate

Further, I hope you will take a leadership role in addressing this problem.

Thanks!

Hello

I am writing about an issue that is of tremendous concern to all students involved in Greek Life. As you know, the skyrocketing cost of college textbooks (which has been increasing much faster than the rate of inflation) undermines academic performance and financial security for many of us.

Relief is at hand. FreeTheTextbooks.org is nationwide nonprofit movement, which will help make textbooks affordable for students at our college and for 21 million college students across the country. There are three parts to this movement:

1.   Petition: College students, high school students and teachers, parents, and others are signing the petition to pressure college administrations to change policies, which could easily save students billions of dollars a year.

2.   Student organizations: Student organizations are joining and creating a page on the site to show their support and rally their members.

3.   Used book exchange: It is not uncommon for a bookstore to buy a student’s used book for very little, and then re-sell the same book to another student for a multiple of that amount. FreeTheTextbook’s used book exchange connects us so we can buy and sell student-to-student. By cutting out the bookstore middleman, we get more when we sell and pay less when we buy.

I hope that you will join the movement as a student organization and that you will encourage all students, fraternities, and sororities to participate.

Thanks!

I am writing to share a nonprofit program, which offers outstanding internship and volunteer opportunities. It will also be of tremendous interest to everyone you deal with.

2.   Student organizations: Student organizations are joining the movement to show their support.

3.   Used book exchange: FreeTheTextbook’s used book exchange connects students so they can buy and sell to one another. By cutting out the bookstore middleman, students get far more when they sell and pay much less when they buy.

Free The Textbooks is recruiting interns, volunteers, and campus reps at every college in the country. Because there are so many schools, it would be impossible for them to post separately on every career service site. They are therefore asking that we all direct students to the postings at https://FreeTheTextbooks.org/join. I hope you will share that with students.


Thanks!

Hello

Ready for a big shock when you get to college? Textbooks are crazy expensive! College Board says the average student spends about $1,300 a year on them, and many of us spend far more.

However, there is a solution. I’d like to invite you to join me and college students from across the country who are participating in FreeTheTextbooks, a nationwide nonprofit movement to make textbooks affordable. This is a quick and easy way to help yourself, your classmates, and 21 million other students. There are two parts to it:

1.   We are all signing the petition to urge college administrations to change textbook policies, which could easily save students billions of dollars a year.

2.   We are connecting through the site’s used book exchange to buy and sell student-to-student. By cutting out the bookstore middleman, we get more when we sell and pay less when we buy. Be sure to check it out when you find out what books you will need for your first semester.

You can make an even bigger impact when you share this with other students at your school, with college students you know, and with both teachers and parents.

Thanks for joining us!
