Concordia University is hosting its annual used book sale this week and you can score books starting at $3.
The Montreal-based university accepts book donations all year round that can be boxed, taped and dropped off at the Concordia landing dock on either the Sir George William or Loyola campuses.
Concordia also accepts smaller donations that can be dropped off in the bin found within the Hall Building on the mezzanine level. Now, the team of volunteers is ready to get the sale set up this week where guests can search through thousands of books.

You do not need to be a Concordia University student to access the sale, all that is required upon entry is a $2 donation.
The two-day used book sale will take place at the J.W. McConnel Building (the Concordia library building) beginning on Tuesday, March 12 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and continues Wednesday, March 13 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
In efforts to raise money, 100% of the proceeds from the used book sale go directly to student scholarships. In fact, in its 22 years, the Concordia 'EPIC Used Book Fair' has raised more than $280,000 for students, while allowing books to live a second, third or fourth life.

Happy reading, Montreal.
