Shipping of Orders Temporarily Suspended

In these uncertain times, our utmost priority remains the health, safety and wellbeing of our colleagues, customers and the broader community and to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) we have decided to temporarily suspend the packing and shipping of all orders from our on-line store, openingminds.ie. We will contact customers in the coming days whose orders have been affected by this suspension.

You can still shop on-line with us now but orders will not be processed until after the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions are lifted.

We would like to thank our colleagues for their dedication and commitment during this current pandemic and to our customers for their ongoing support and understanding. We are all in this together, and by continuing to help each other we will emerge stronger.

Book Covering

Opening Minds cover schoolbooks in a clear durable plastic cover. Every book is covered individually by hand and each cover is sized to suit the individual book.
Our Irish made bookcovering is strong and durable, it is designed to protect against spills, wear and tear and will extend the life of book.
Avail of our special online price on €1.10 per book when you order your schoolbooks online.
Covering options and the enviroment
We are in discussion with our covering materials supplier to reduce our use of plastic and increase the use of eco friendly products. We have sourced A4 paper covers and copy covers in paper, both sustainably produced in Ireland. We supply brown paper rolls which may be used to cover schoolbooks.
We make every possible effort to source second hand school books, while recognising that the rapidly changing Junior Cycle specifications may mean that second hand books may not yet be available
Our bags and boxes are recyclable.
We welcome suggestions to aid the transition to a more sustainable future.
