Dear Parents,
I am writing to ask for volunteers to assist with this year’s used book buyback program. As you may know, this year we have a brand new system for buying our children’s textbooks which involves ordering the books online. The vendor with whom we will be working is MBS Direct. MBS offers a used book buyback program called EZdrop Buyback. The Parents Association will be at school to help with this process on Tuesday, June10th through Friday, June 13th. Although this process will be different from in the past, it appears to be very straightforward and user-friendly.
This is how it will work. Each parent or student will create a voucher at home listing the books they wish to sell. This will be done by going online with MBS and listing the books and their ISBN numbers. MBS will fill in the buyback prices. The parent or student will then print 2 copies of the voucher. The parent or student will then bring the books and the vouchers to school. This is where we need your help. As a volunteer, you will check the books against the voucher to make sure the list and books match. Next, you will put the books and one copy of the voucher in a bag provided by MBS, seal the bag, and pack the bags in boxes provided by MBS. That’s our entire role! Checks for the used books will be sent directly from MBS to the parents.
We are very excited about this new process and are hoping that, with your help, the transition to the new system will go smoothly. We are seeking volunteers for the following days and times:
Tuesday June 10th - 8:00 to Noon Noon to 4:00
Wednesday June 11th - 8:00 to Noon Noon to 4:00
Thursday June 12th - 8:00 to Noon Noon to 4:00
Friday June 13th - 8:30 to Noon
The buyback will take place in Belfield gym (BD141). We will also have a short set up and training session on Monday, June 9th at 8:30AM.
Please let me know if you can volunteer. We hope those of you who volunteered in the past will help us launch the new program. Thanks again for all of your help.
