Our Book Rental Scheme
The Textbook Rental Schemes in Schools allow students to rent textbooks from their school for the school year. Buying textbooks is a very heavy cost for parents. Joining a textbook rental scheme in your child’s school is one way in which you can reduce this cost greatly.
What is a Textbook Rental Scheme?
Textbook rental schemes loan textbooks to children and charge a small rental fee. The books are owned by the board of management of the school and are rented out each year to students. Many schools run textbook rental schemes. The cost of renting the books from the school is much lower than buying the books in a bookshop.
How do the Schemes Operate?
Before the beginning of the school year, you pay the rental fee to the school. The textbook scheme will cover many but not all textbooks. The school will tell you what’s covered and what books you will still need to buy. When your child comes to school, the teachers will give him/her the textbooks covered by the scheme. Your child uses the books for the school year. It’s important that your child looks after the books carefully because they belong to the school. At the end of the school year, your child returns the borrowed textbooks to the school in good condition. There will be a charge issued to parents for any books damaged over the course of the year in order to replace them within the scheme.
