Like the book fair you loved… but free.

Textbooks are expensive — but they don’t have to be. Join us for the Open Education Book Fair and explore how Open Educational Resources (OER) are making learning more affordable and accessible for students.

Come by and:

  • Browse free, openly licensed textbooks and course materials

  • Learn how Open Education works and how to find OER for your classes

  • Chat with folks from VIUSU and BCcampus about free books and Open Access

  • Discover tools, info sheets, and resources you can use right away

  • Enjoy free snacks while you browse 🍿

All featured textbooks are free, openly licensed, and available from day one — meaning no waiting, no access codes, and no added costs.

Whether you’re curious about saving money, interested in Open Education, or just miss the vibe of a classic book fair, this event is for you.

Free resources. Real savings. See you there. 📖
