Did you know that SFU is now a Fair Trade Campus?

WE SUPPORT SUSTAINABILITY
We offer you a selection of recycled, fair trade, and natural products. And we're committed to ongoing sustainability projects:

It's all in the bag:
If you really need a bag, we've got one for you. A 100% bio-degradable bag. If you don't need a bag, good for you. It's smart to use your own reusable bag or backpack.

It's not waste:
We hate waste. Every semester we unpack thousands of books. But we save and reuse the packing materials to return the books we don't sell.

Shop smart and save:
We work hard to get you the right book at the right time, and at the best possible price. Make sure you need the book before you buy it. Refunds waste time, money, and resources. For you and us.

Recycling makes a lot of Cents:
We Buyback used books from students. Over 50,000 each year. It's smart to recycle books into your hands and money into your pocket.

Let there be light:
Our stores are lit with energy efficient halide lamps. This consumes 1/3 the energy but emits 3x the light. An enlightened step along the path to a reduced carbon footprint.
