Our purpose – the essence of SFU – is to create and connect knowledge, learning and community for deeper understanding and meaningful impact. We are committed to fostering excellence, innovation, belonging and community in all that we do.

The mission of the SFU Bookstore Spirit Shop is to enhance the living and learning environment of the University community by providing goods and services in engaging places. SFU Bookstore Spirit Shop supports faculty and student learning at Simon Fraser University by ensuring availability and procurement of more than 5,500 faculty requisitioned textbook titles each year. Our ongoing objective is to supply required course materials to SFU students at the lowest possible price, and on their digital device of choice as distribution models evolve. SFU Spirit Shop promotes the University image as well as fosters collegial spirit through the marketing of SFU branded clothing, supplies, gifts and memorabilia. SFU Bookstore Spirit Shop is a self-funded operation that is committed, at all levels, to exemplary customer service quality and innovation. We demonstrate community and global leadership through our sustainability practices and engagement as a Fair-Trade Campus.
