Does the institution host a peer-to-peer textbook exchange program, textbook lending library, or alternate textbook project?:
A brief description of the textbook exchange program, textbook lending library, or alternate textbook project:
Austin Peay's strong military presence as part of the Fort Campbell community has resulted in a robust military student center on campus. Nearly 30% of our students are military affiliated and therefore receive priority for their textbook lending program. After this period textbooks are made available to the entire student population. Books are collected from students at the end of each semester to support this lending program.
