Book Banks
The working of a book bank is similar to a library, where books are lent out for a specified period. However, unlike a library, book banks cater only to students as customers and lend them books for their entire semesters (usually six months). The book banks charge a fee and provide the students with the text books they need for their course. Students benefit by not having to spend a lot for their course books.
MV Book Bank is considered a pioneer of the idea in Chennai and leads the rest of the book banks in customer base and branches. However, competitors in the form of REC Book Bank, Reach Book Bank, OKOT Book Bank, Students Book Bank and a few others are important players in the field.

Famous quotes containing the words book and/or banks:
“A good book is the best of friends, the same today and for ever.”
—Martin Tupper (1810–1889)
“Ye banks and braes o’ bonnie Doon,
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
And I sae weary fu’ o’ care?
Thou’lt break my heart, thou warbling bird,
That wantons thro’ the flowering thorn:
Thou minds me o’ departed joys,
Departed never to return.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
