Located on the first floor of the Campus Activity Centre, they sell computers, computer software, UCC apparel, calculators, stationery supplies, art supplies, phone cards, greeting cards, general interest books, magazines, specialized materials required by some courses, giftware and snack food. bookie's is owned and operated by UCC.
bookie's hours throughout the academic year are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Thursday and from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Summer hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Thursday and from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Friday. There are extended hours at the beginning of each semester. Please phone for details.
By late July/early August, many textbooks required for your course work will be available. Used books have arrived from the wholesalers and are in stock by mid-August. Textbooks, both new and used, can be returned for a full refund up to two weeks after classes begin, providing you have the original receipt and the textbook is unmarked in any way.
Books may also be purchased on the web at our website www.bookies.cariboo.bc.ca
Used book buy-backs run all year long except for the first month of fall classes and the first two weeks of winter classes. bookie's will purchase used textbooks from students for 50% of the original purchase price, providing the text is the current edition and there is a need for them in the following semester. These texts are then made available to students the following semester. bookie's may also purchase books no longer being used at UCC. We buy them back for many other Canadian universities at approximately 30% of the new price. We also purchase them for U.S. wholesalers. The value of these books is set by the wholesalers and is based on market value.
You can find out what value your used book has on our website under "Buyback Info". If the value listed in not to your liking you can leave your email and we will let you know if and when the value increases.
