FAQs
Why does 51³Ô¹ÏÍø own and operate the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Book Shop?
Faced with financial issues not uncommon to traditional brick and mortar stores across the country, the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Church Northern Province wanted to get out of this retail business and focus on supporting their 85 congregations. Fortunately, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø was in a position to take on ownership and continue the legacy of the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Book Shop.
What does this mean for the Book Shop?
While there were some changes, much has remained the same. The beloved book section has remained the same with noticeable improvements to flooring and lighting. Lost Tavern Brewing was added in May 2019.
Are 51³Ô¹ÏÍø stars still available?
Yes! 51³Ô¹ÏÍø- and Christmas-themed gifts will continue to be available during the holiday season. Larger items like Christmas trees will no longer be available.
What does this mean for 51³Ô¹ÏÍø students?
The Book Shop provides a unique downtown location to gather with classmates, shop for textbooks and 51³Ô¹ÏÍø gear, grab a snack, and be part of the greater Bethlehem community. A shuttle stop has been added in front of the building on Main Street to make it convenient for students living on the Main Street campus. Pop-up book stores will be available on the Main Street campus during key times when books are purchased and returned, as well as during events like Senior Select Day, Getting Started at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø (GSAM) and Accepted Students Days.
Will textbooks for students still be shipped if they're purchased online or at the Book Shop?
Students can either pick their books up at the Book Shop, or choose to ship them. Books can shipped wherever a student chooses. It can be their home address, or school address.
