Calling all book worms

BUSU along with Brock GSA are collecting used books from the community.

Time to clear out your bookshelves and donate to the Food First "Read 'Em to Feed 'Em" fundraiser. From Oct. 20 to 24, we will take all your pre-read, pre-loved books off your shelves and place them into the hands of the next big reader!

We are looking for:

  • Books in good, gently read condition,
  • Books can be fiction, non-fiction, cook books or even graphic novels
  • All books must be for casual reading - save the text books for the classroom

Drop-off locations:

BUSU and GSA offices Monday to Friday,  9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The Pop-up Market Tuesday, Oct. 21, Rankin Family Pavilion between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Food First Hot Breakfast Wednesday, Oct. 22,  Union Station Food Court. Any faculty or staff who bring a book to Hot Breakfast gets to enjoy breakfast in return!
 

All books collected will be packaged and made available for a mystery sale happening this November. All funds raised will go to the BUSU & GSA Food First program.

All BUSU events are exclusively for Brock University students unless otherwise advised. BUSU strives to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all Brock students to engage fully. To request an accommodation or for inquiries about event accessibility, please email events@brockbusu.ca.
