CONCORDIA
EPIC USED BOOK FAIR
October 7 and 8, 2025
For 23+ years, the Concordia EPIC Used Book Fair has raised more than $350,000 for student scholarships, breathing new life into countless books.
In 2024, the fair set a new record with $70,129 raised to support Concordia students.
Let’s see if we can beat that on October 7 and October 8, 2025!

Boxes of books — securely taped shut and labelled Concordia EPIC Used Book Fair – can be dropped off at the loading dock on either campus.
Small donations can be dropped off in the bin in the Hall Building on the mezzanine.
