Barnes & Noble Offers Educators Additional Discounts During Educator Appreciation Days - January 12-20, 2013

Educators across the country are choosing NOOK eReaders and Tablets as a cost-effective solution to their digital education needs. “Our NOOK HD devices are ideal for school use,” DiFrancesco said. “They’re comparable to their pricey rivals and give educators access to millions of quality eBooks and a curated catalogue of apps.”

Stores also will highlight the 2013 My Favorite Teacher Contest at their January Educator events. The contest provides middle and high school students the opportunity to tell their communities how much they appreciate their teachers by writing an essay, poem or letter about them.

Stores honor their local winner at a spring event in their store. Each local winner is entered into the regional contest, where five winners receive a NOOK® HD and a $500 Barnes & Noble gift card. From the pool of regional winners, Barnes & Noble will name one teacher the Barnes & Noble National Teacher of the Year. The winning teacher will receive $5,000 and the title of “Barnes & Noble Teacher of the Year.” Barnes & Noble also donates $5,000 to the winning teacher’s school.

Educators are encouraged to visit the bn.com Store Locator ( http://store-locator.barnesandnoble.com) to find a Barnes & Noble location near them.

* Exclusions can be found in the Educator Program Terms and Conditions available at www.bn.com/bn-at-school. Educators must present a valid Barnes & Noble Educators Discount Card to receive the discounts. See any bookseller for details.
