Reminder: The MBS bookstore opening and Used Book Exchange are coming up next week!
Buy Fall Textbooks – Beginning Mon., July 8
MBS operates an online bookstore for Harker. Starting July 8, you can input your student’s Harker ID at this virtual bookstore and all the books you need for your student’s classes will appear. We realize some of you may purchase books by other means, so it is important to make sure that when buying a book, the ISBN number exactly matches the one on your book list – even numbers different by one digit will mean the incorrect book.

Textbook orders of more than $99 purchased between July 8-14 will receive free shipping from MBS.

We have prepared a short simulation tutorial to walk you through the book-buying process with MBS. A hard copy cheat sheet is also available.

A note about textbook lists: We have been with MBS for many years and this has been the primary source of book information. In the past we have also posted a spreadsheet of all textbooks on the Back-to-School Hub. To ensure accuracy, we will not be providing that list this year. MBS is the most up-to-date source for the correct information, so all families will use this as a source of needed books. If you choose to buy your books elsewhere, including used books at the Used Book Exchange (see below), please be sure you know the exact editions you will need.

Used Book Exchange Sat., July 13 | 9-11 a.m., Upper School Campus Quad
The used book exchange is for Harker families to buy and sell directly to each other. Come to the upper school campus and sell or buy your books directly to/from other students. Sort of like a garage sale, Harker doesn’t establish any prices; you just negotiate with those who would like to purchase from you. The book-selling event on July 13 at Saratoga is also is a literature exchange day – come swap books for good summer reads!

Check out some tips for buying and selling at the exchange!
