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:
“This book should be read as one would read the book of a dead man.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
