14.3 Market day
On Wednesday and Friday mornings, the market square is full of stalls and tents selling
fresh products, meats, cheeses and lots of fun merchandise as well. The Wednesday
market is particularly known for its cloth and fabrics and the Friday market is renowned
for its excellent fish.
Prices are generally comparable to the Aldi, the food is farm-fresh and the atmosphere is
far nicer than in a supermarket. Although prices are not as tightly fixed as in a department
store, haggling is generally not acceptable. Still, there is always a bargain to be

In April 2009, a new second-hand university bookstore called Books 4 Life opened in the

University, Kapoenstraat 2, 6211 KW Maastricht.
You can buy second-hand textbooks as well as travel guides, dictionaries, novels etc.
All proceeds are donated to charity: 25% for Oxfam Novib, 25% for Amnesty International
and 50% to UM-related charities. You can also donate any books you don’t need any more
to B4L.
The store operates with the help of volunteers and the organisation is always looking for
enthusiastic students who are willing to donate part of their time. You can help out in the
store or by participating in the organisation (designing posters, organising events etc).

from book sales is reinvested in running and expanding the shops.
• The books that sold have all been Donated to the shop. There is no financial compensation
for the books that are given to the organisation.
• They work entirely with Volunteers. None of the shop assistants or other members of
the organisation are provided a salary for their efforts.
• You can expect to find a huge and varied selection of second-hand Books. They also sell
a few related items, like DVDs, board games and jigsaw puzzles, but the main focus is
books.
• All of the charities and projects that they support work towards the promotion of
Human Rights and Poverty Reduction across the globe.
