Barnes & Noble Launches New Online Book-Buying Portal “Classroom” for Schools and Educators

 Barnes & Noble, Inc., the world’s largest retail bookseller, announced a new online book portal for schools across the country to get the books and products they need from Barnes & Noble’s extensive catalog. This free portal is an easy, fast, and efficient way for educational institutions K-12 to purchase and track ordering from Barnes & Noble as well as get access to curated book recommendations and personalized support. Educational institutions should look for an invitation to join Classroom by Barnes & Noble from their local Business Development Manager or put in a request by emailing BulkOrders@bn.com.
 
“In a time when online ordering options for educators are essential, we’re so excited to launch Classroom by Barnes & Noble for educational institutions K-12 across the country to access our extensive and trusted catalogue of books,” said Tracy Vidakovich, Vice President, Business Development for Barnes & Noble. “We have been working closely with educational institutions for decades through our Institutional account/discount program and believe this new portal for buying and managing book and instructional material purchases comes at just the right time.”
 
Classroom was developed to provide an easy and useful online platform to support our teachers and schools across the country by giving educational institutions K-12 and their administrators access to an extensive curated selection of the top selling books and materials. With specially selected titles that include the bestsellers among schools nationwide, educators will now have the ease of browsing a Barnes & Noble bookcase for use in their classrooms from their classrooms and schools.

The site is by invitation only, so educational institutions K-12 should look out for an email from their local Barnes & Noble contact, or please reach out to be considered for access by emailing BulkOrders@bn.com.
 
Barnes & Noble recognizes the important work educators do and the power of books to inspire and change lives. The bookseller’s Educator Discount Card Program offers pre-K through grade 12 educators 20% off list price on most in-store and online purchases for classroom use throughout the year, and 25% off during special appreciation events. To take advantage of these offers educators can apply for their Barnes & Noble Educator Discount Card in their local store or online at BN.com/educator.
