UQ Alumni Book Fair

The UQ Alumni Book Fair is a prime activity of Alumni Friends of The University of Queensland Inc. and is conducted biennially, generally in late April. The book fair team known as Bookhouse meets early Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings on an as needs be basis. The Alumni Friends office is generally open Tuesday-Friday (930am-1pm)

The Fair's purpose is to raise money for the Alumni Friends of UQ Inc.

On average, approximately one hundred and fifty thousand books are prepared for sale for each Book Fair. Preparation consists of sorting, classifying, pricing and packing books, not all of which are accepted for sale.

Work in preparation for each Biennial Book Fair commences almost immediately after the preceding Book Fair has concluded. This work takes place within a space at the Alumni Centre.
