BookEnds

For over 30 years BookEnds has been providing students with a way to buy cheap textbooks, literature and novels. We currently have over 6000 books in the shop, ranging from medical and science textbooks to literature and fiction.

BookEnds is a part of the University of Aberdeen’s Student Charities Campaign which means that a large portion of what we make each year in the shop goes to charity selected by the volunteers.

We are now only accepting donations, if you are currently selling books through us then you will still receive payment if they are sold!

We are always looking for new volunteers!

BookEnds are always looking for new volunteers. Each year, we have on average 40 students volunteering with us. You can register your interest to volunteer with us via our email. You can also stop by the shop and one of our volunteers will be more than happy to help!

We provide a social and supportive environment to all of our volunteers as well as providing the opportunity to obtain a Saltire Award to recognise your volunteering hours. This means that when you complete 50, 100 or 200 hours of volunteer work you will receive a nationally recognised certificate, which is great for your CV!
