Welcome!

We are YOUR Dal Bookstore

Whether you're a new face or a returning one, we want to take a moment to say that we're thrilled to be part of your journey.

The Main Dal Bookstore is located in the lower level student union building. From the buzz of excited students to the pride of visiting parents, the energy on campus is truly electric. The only other time we feel this excited is when we see our students graduate.

We're so glad you're here. To support you during this transition, we're open all Labour Day Weekend and have extended shopping hours throughout September. These hours are adjusted to fit your class schedule and help you find everything you need, from extra dorm essentials to course supplies and accessories to that next piece of Dal Gear to wear to the next Tigers home game. 

We are your Dalhousie Bookstore and here to support you every step of the way.

We look forward to seeing you!
