Hands taking books out of a box

The University of Maryland School of Social Work (UMSSW) Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion's (ODEI) Book Lending Initiative is back and open for the fall 2024 semester.

The ODEI Book Lending Initiative supports UMSSW's efforts to promote equity by making textbooks more accessible for MSW students. 

Registration to borrow books begins Aug. 5 and will close Monday, Aug. 19, at noon. Students will not be able to submit book requests after this date.

IMPORTANT: Students can borrow up to two textbooks. However, please keep in mind that we have a limited textbook inventory and that books are distributed in the order in which requests are received.

Students, faculty, and staff, let your voice be heard!
