UQ Alumni Book Fair® and Rare Book Auction (in person)
Join us at the UQ Alumni Book Fair (30 April –3 May 2021) and the Rare Book Auction (6.30pm Friday 30 April)!
Over 50,000 books, DVDs, LPs and videos will be for sale at the UQ Alumni Annual Book Fair®. Funds raised will support student scholarships, UQ researchers and educators. This is our opportunity to turn our love of books into tangible support for UQ students – providing them with scholarships to empower them to achieve their goals and bring positive change to our community.
We ask that attendees register their attendance to avoid disappointment. We do have a small number of 'walk-in' places available however there may be a short wait due to room capacity restrictions.
