Books are sold as inexpensively as possible, usually at a discount below retail price. The store also carries school supplies, cards, some music recordings, BibleWindows computer software, and stamps for U.S. and Canada. Membership allows anyone in the member's immediate family to purchase books at discount prices. The bookstore employs a business manager, a book ordering manager and three to five assistants, hired from among AMBS students and spouses. The on-campus Cooperative Childcare Program provides a wholesome atmosphere for play and learning for children one to six years old.
Membership is open to students, faculty and staff.
Member parents and others in the seminary community serve as volunteer caregivers along with the paid teachers. The seminary supports the program financially and provides a building devoted solely to the childcare program as well as outdoor fenced play areas. A committee of several member parents administers the program. New members are admitted, rates are announced, and schedules are set at the beginning of each term.
