immediate families, retired persons and trustees of Earlham College, the
Earlham School of Religion (ESR) and Bethany Theological Seminary (BTS).
Personal Charges: Total purchases of no less than $5.00 can be charged

and trustees of Earlham College, ESR and BTS are entitled to a 10% discount
storewide except for items specially marked "sale",
merchandise reduced for sale, newspapers, and gift certificates. The
10% discount also applies to special orders as long as the discounted selling
price is more than what the Bookstore has to pay for the item.
Spouses and dependent children are also entitled to the 10%
discount and to charge to the employee's personal account.
Faculty and staff members are asked to identify themselves to Bookstore personnel
when requesting discounts for personal purchases. If necessary,
presentation of a College or Seminary ID card will be sufficient. (Not
all faculty and staff personnel are known to all the Bookstore staff.)
