BOOK PURCHASING
The BNC K-12 powered by MBS Virtual Bookstore will go live on Friday, August 12 and the free shipping runs August 12 - August 26, 2022. BNC K-12 powered by MBS has worked hard with our Mercy Staff to provide a comprehensive list of books needed for your daughter's courses. 

Shop by Schedule enables students to enter their Mercy Student ID to access their entire schedule's course materials on the Virtual Bookstore. This allows your daughter to add all of her course materials to her shopping cart at one time, eliminating the need to select each course individually. Please note the shop by schedule feature is only available for students who have completed required school forms and current billing account as of Wednesday, August 10.

Shop by Course is also available using your student schedule. Feel free to experience this easy and convenient ordering method by visiting our BNC K-12 powered by MBS Virtual Bookstore and try it out for yourself!

  • Click the "Let's Get Started" button on Mercy's Virtual Bookstore.
  • Under "Shop by Schedule", enter your student ID number.
  • Confirm that you are that Mercy Student - click "Continue."
  • You'll see your course materials and can select items to check out when ready!

Take advantage of digital formats and free shipping offers! Since every Mercy student will have an iPad to facilitate her learning, consider digital formats in lieu of a hardbound textbook. We really hope students take advantage of the many digital book options available; however, please read and follow the Teacher Course Messages listed and carefully check your order details before checkout

Please note that some Math and Science online course books will be acquired once school begins using an access code provided directly from teachers and will be billed to the student's tuition account. English teachers may provide a list of books that students will purchase and download throughout the school year. 

Contact our MBS books liaison Kelly Bickes at kabickes@mhsmi.org with book ordering questions.
