Teachers and librarians can enjoy 10% off in-store purchases year-round.
Half Price Books offers a year-round 10% discount to teachers, educators, and librarians through its Educator Discount Program. This in-store exclusive offer is a great way for educators to save on books and educational materials.
To receive the Half Price Books Teacher Discount, educators must apply for a renewable Educator Discount Card in-store. To qualify, simply present a valid ID or recent pay stub that confirms your role as a teacher at a public or private school, a college/university teaching assistant, or a city/school librarian. Homeschool educators can also apply by providing proof from a recognized local or state homeschooling organization. Once approved, you’ll receive a card that gives you 10% off all in-store purchases.
Note: The card must be renewed annually, and the discount is not available for online purchases.
