Free Textbooks at the GSSC

Would you like to have your own copy of an elementary, middle school, or high school mathematics textbook? Stop by the Golden Student Success Center to pick up FREE textbooks. The K-12 Instructional Resources Collection in the Golden Student Success Center is a Regional Evaluation Center for the Instructional Materials Bureau of the New Mexico Department of Public Education.

Publishers sent these materials to us at no cost six years ago so that area teachers could evaluate them for classroom use. We have new mathematics textbooks to place on the shelves this summer, so these older books must go to make room.

The grade levels of the items range from kindergarten to grade 12. We have general mathematics textbooks, as well as algebra, calculus, geometry, and statistics. The materials will be downstairs on tables between Einstein’s seating area and the reference desk from Saturday, May 2, to Friday, May 8th. Please bring bags or boxes to place items in. There is no limit on the number of items you can take.

This offer is open to the ENMU and the broader community. Please share this information with others interested in kindergarten through grade 12 educational materials. Interested individuals must come to the Golden Student Success Center to obtain the items. We are unable to hold or ship items.

Do you have questions? Contact Susan Asplund at [email protected] or call 575.562.2629.
