Laker Nest Bookstore

Due to COVID-19, we have implemented provisions for Spring 2021 textbook and course material pick up. Click here for specific information on picking up Spring 2021 textbooks and course materials.

Lake Land College students have multiple options for textbook pick up.

• Students can bring their student ID and booklist to the Bookstore (or specified location) during the designated book pick up dates listed on the Laker Calendar.
• Students may have their books shipped via the UPS shipping option found on the booklist site. Dates booklists become available are published on the Laker Calendar.
• Course materials may be delivered to extension centers using the Print My Booklist system on the Laker Hub. Check the specific extension center’s hours for pick up.

Due to COVID-19, we have implemented provisions for Fall 2020 textbook returns. Click here for specific information on returning Fall 2020 textbooks.

Lake Land College students also have multiple options for textbook returns.

• Students, or someone they designate, can return their books in person to the Bookstore, the Kluthe Center in Effingham, the Eastern Region Center in Marshall or the Western Region Center in Pana. Check with each location for hours of operation.
• Students may return textbooks via USPS, UPS, or FedEx provided they are post marked on due date or before.
• To be certain all books are returned, click on the link, “Textbooks Rented”, in the Laker Hub to view all items rented for the current semester.

Cost of defacement or damage will be paid by the renter at the new retail price.

Purchased course materials (workbooks, access codes, etc.) can be returned by the 10^th day of the semester (5^th day Mod/Summer) with receipt and in original condition.

Merchandise and apparel must be returned within 30 days and must be accompanied with the receipt and original tags.

It is the student’s responsibility to maintain records that may be necessary for tax purposes.

All rented items must be returned to the College by the close of hours on the 5th college business day after the last day of final exams. Beginning on the sixth day, students will be charged new retail price of unreturned rentals. Textbook return deadlines are published on the Laker Calendar.

After the period mentioned above, any textbooks that have not been returned to the Bookstore will become the property of the student and the total cost for those books will be added to their bill. At that time, books can no longer be returned to the Bookstore and any future financial aid, scholarships, or student loans may be held or applied against these charges.

Students with late textbook charges will be blocked from receiving transcripts and will not be able to register for any classes until the charges are paid.

The Bookstore will not be issuing Student IDs to new students for the Fall 2020 Semester due to the COVID-19 precautions. Students who are coming to campus to pickup books will be required to show a government-issued ID or their Student ID.

Students can stop by the Bookstore or Kluthe Center during normal business hours with a valid picture ID (i.e. driver’s license or passport) to get a Lake Land Student ID made.

There is a $10 fee for replacement IDs.

I will pay the new retail price of each rented textbook not returned to the College by the above date. Restrictions apply for outstanding fees.

I am responsible for the condition of the textbook(s) rented. I will pay the new retail price of each rented textbook that has an unreasonable (determined by the Lake Land College Bookstore staff) amount of underlining or highlighting or in unreasonable condition.

Some textbooks will include CDs. A textbook cannot be returned if the CD is missing or damaged.
