Victoria College Book Sale
Launched in 1992, the Victoria College Book Sale is Vic’s largest annual volunteer fundraising event, which to date has generated almost $3 million for the library.
The 2024 Vic Book Sale is officially over.
Thank you to everyone who made the sale a great success.
In the meantime, check out our Bookshop just inside the E.J. Pratt Library.

Donation Guidelines
We appreciate your interest in donating books to the book sale—your donation will greatly benefit Victoria University Library. (Please note, no charitable receipt will be issued for donated books). There are some criteria on what our volunteers are able to accept.
We accept hard and soft cover books, vinyl, CDs and DVDs in all subjects in great condition.
Due to the nature of the booksale, we are unable to accept the following:
- encyclopedia sets
- journals or magazines
- Reader’s Digest condensed books
- discarded library books
- outdated or underlined textbooks
- musty books
How to Pack Boxes
- banker’s boxes and liquor store boxers are preferable so our volunteers can lift them!

Drive north on Queen’s Park Crescent East, past Wellesley and St. Joseph Streets. Turn right into the driveway just before the pedestrian traffic lights, north of St. Joseph Street (see map and image below and Google Street View). Then turn left into the library delivery entrance.
