Student Charity Book Shop Volunteers

For over 30 years the University’s second hand bookshop BookEnds been providing students not only a way to buy cheap textbooks, CDs and DVDs but also a way to make some money. We currently have over 6000 books in the shop, ranging from medical and science textbooks to literature and fiction.

BookEnds is a part of University of Aberdeen’s Student Charities Campaign which means that a large portion of what we make each year in the shop goes to local charities in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

BookEnds are always looking for new volunteers – any member of the public is very welcome to volunteer with us and all help makes a difference and is greatly appreciated (plus if you are a student, we are also looking for new members for our committee). Please get in touch!


Excellent support and relevant guidance is provided to all volunteers. Includes induction to show you how the store runs and volunteers are given committee details to allow them to get in touch with any questions. New volunteers will also be accompanied by a committee member on shift at all times for the first few weeks.


For more information please contact Kirsty Gardiner, Social Secretary at email: k.gardiner.21@abdn.ac.uk or telephone: 07908971805.
