    Posted April 29

    Saint Francis will continue our partnership with MBS Direct, one of the largest distributors of new and used books in the nation. MBS provides a service that makes the process of ordering textbooks easy, efficient and cost-effective. Saint Francis has partnered with MBS in response to positive feedback received from students and parents. This service has reduced textbook costs, lowered shipping charges and eliminated sales tax. Be sure to look for the MBS brochures that will be coming in the next mailing. MBS will maintain a list of the course offerings and the books and materials for each course. MBS will also reference the ISBN number for each book.


    • If a course requires a book or paperback that must be purchased at the school bookstore or if a course does not require any books, an explanation corresponding to that course will be provided on the MBS website.
    • Orders will ship within 24 hours.
    • There is a significant reduction in shipping costs for orders placed within a specific window of time. For more information, visit MBS.
    • Payment can be made by credit card or personal check.
    • The online bookstore is accessible 24 hours a day. It is recommended that you order as soon as possible in order to receive your textbooks in a timely manner.

    Students are welcome to purchase books from any vendor. It is recommended that you use the MBSdirect site to determine which textbooks you need for all courses for the 2008-2009 year since their listings are updated regularly to reflect any changes in curriculum. You will also be able to view a listing of books directly should you wish to use another vendor. This information will not be online until July. At that time you will be able to login and review the books that correspond to your courses. Should you desire to use another vendor, please be careful to record the necessary textbook information, including isbn number, prior to contacting any other textbook vendor.
