Personal property

All personal property should be left in lockers. Customers may be asked to leave their coat or bags outside the store while shopping. The Bookstore does not accept responsibility for lost or stolen items.

Used books

The Bookstore has a small amount of used books available for sale during book rush. These books are identified by a yellow “USED” sticker on the spine. All used books are placed on the same shelf as new copies. They are priced 25% less than new copies.

Cash for books

During the first week of each semester, students may sell their books from previous semesters at the book buy-back located in the Upper Atrium next to the escalators. There is no guarantee that a title will be bought back. The dates for the buy-back can be found on the Dawson College Facebook page, as well as the Daily Bulletin.
