Terms and Conditions
Updated: September 11, 2026
Club membership
Only club members can borrow books to take home. To become a member, apply on the site and pay a one-time security deposit — cash or e-transfer, in person. The deposit is refunded if you decide to leave the club. After that we give you a membership number, which you'll need to reserve books.
Reserving and picking up books
The site's cart lets you reserve up to 3 books at once with your membership number. The date and place for picking up reserved books are arranged with you personally.
Loan period and returns
Books go out for two weeks. Please return them in good condition so other kids can enjoy them too. If a book is lost or damaged, we may discuss compensation from the security deposit.
The site and online reservations
The catalog, cart and lists on the site are a convenience tool; final confirmation and hand-off of books always happen in person. We can't guarantee a specific book will still be available if someone else reserves it at the same time.
Non-profit nature of the club
BukvaLand is a non-profit initiative run by parents. Donations and deposits go toward growing our book collection and running the club, not toward profit.
