AUS & QPIRG Free Textbook Loan Program

The Free Textbook Loan Program is a student-led initiative of QPIRG-McGill Alternative Library. Students donate their textbooks to QPIRG-McGill in return for compensation. Every semester, we lend these books out free of charge to students upon request, with extended borrowing periods. QPIRG aims to address the lack of access to physical textbooks and lessen the financial burden of higher education. The program is independent of the Course Reserves collection of McGill Library and partly funded by the Arts Undergraduate Improvement Fund.
