The Bookstore
is proud to be owned and operated by the University. A portion of every dollar spent at the Bookstore is re-invested towards the improvement and maintenance of the campus community.
The main Bookstore is located centrally on campus, on the ground floor of the MacEwan Student Centre. We offer required and recommended textbooks for courses at the publisher's list price and make every effort to obtain the least expensive options for students. We also provide a used textbook buyback service, a free online classified service, and a buyback alert service. In our digital world, books can be located from a variety of sources, however your campus Bookstore offers the advantage of having exactly the books you need, in stock for the beginning of classes, all with a hassle-free returns policy.
We are more than just textbooks! The main Bookstore carries one of Calgary's largest selections of general reading books, and we can special order any book still in print. We are also pleased to offer University of Calgary clothing and souvenirs, Dinos merchandise, and a wide selection of stationery and art supplies. We also operate Seasons Card and Gift shop (one stop gift shopping!) and are proud to brew Starbucks coffee in our café.
The Bookstore has a secure online store that features the required and recommended textbook list each semester, online ordering for textbooks, clothing, gifts, and select general reading titles. Order your textbooks online, with the option of in store pick-up or delivery and avoid the back-to-school rush! Check out our site at http://www.calgarybookstore.ca.
