McGill Bookfair
The McGill Book Fair, held each autumn in Redpath Hall, offers buyers tens of thousands of used books, French and English, in categories ranging from architecture to zoology. In addition to volumes old and new, the Book Fair also offers CDs, LPs, DVDs, and sheet music. One room is devoted exclusively to art and architecture, and another to old and rare books.
The Book Fair is organized and run entirely by volunteers. All proceeds are used to support McGill scholarships. Since its inception in 1971, the Book Fair has raised over $1.5-million. In 2010, the annual Book Fair donation to the University was $75,000.
