For the 2026–2027 school year, textbooks can be acquired via app.mybooks.lu from July 23, 2026, through July 15, 2027.

Click on the app.mybooks.lu button.

The bookseller scans the barcodes and hands you over the textbooks.

Once the bookseller has scanned the barcodes, you will no longer be able to exchange them. Make sure you have chosen the correct textbooks before going to the bookstore.

3. What should I do if a required textbook is available in both French and German?

If your personal reading list includes a required textbook that’s available in both French and German, and you’re not sure which one to choose, it’s best to ask your teacher at the beginning of the school year.

4. Where can I acquire the textbooks?

To pick up your textbooks, you’ll need to visit one of the partner bookstores participating in the myBooks.lu program. You can find the list of partners here.

SCRIPT may have new copies of certain required textbooks available. In that case, the book will be delivered to your school right at the start of the school year. 

Delivery usually takes a few days after the order has been processed. Distribution will then be organized by the person in charge of textbooks at your school.

 As soon as the book is available on site, its status in the app will change to “Delivered to your school by SCRIPT”.

9. Where can I pick up my textbooks if the status shows “Delivered to your school by SCRIPT”?

If the status “Delivered to your school by SCRIPT” is displayed, this means that the textbooks have been sent directly to your school. The school will let you know as soon as possible the exact time and place where you can pick up your package.

The Ministry supports the sustainable and responsible use of textbooks.

You can deselect the book on app.mybooks.lu and receive a voucher worth 50% of the book's price.

The voucher can only be used to purchase books (textbooks that require payment or other books).

You can use it right away or combine it with other vouchers later. To redeem a book voucher, show the barcode that appears in your “Book Vouchers” section at one of the partner bookstores of the myBooks.lu program. 

If the book you want to buy a the voucher is cheaper than your credit, you can use the remaining balance laater. If the book is more expensive than your credit on the voucher, you’ll need to pay the difference.

3. Where can I redeem the voucher?

You can redeem the voucher only at one of the partner bookstores of the myBooks.lu program. You can find the list of partners here.

4. Can I use the voucher to shop online?

The Ministry will neither replace lost or stolen textbooks nor reimburse their value.
