The 2012 Early Order Discount Program is now available. Since its inception, schools and school boards have realized over $8 million in savings on eligible purchases through the Learning Resources Centre.

What is the Early Order Discount Program?

The Learning Resources Centre and its publishing partners have joined forces to provide you an additional 10% on over 6,000 eligible resources available through the Learning Resources Centre between January 1, 2012 and May 15, 2012. Early Order Discount purchases are delivered prior to the beginning of the school year.

Why buy during the Early Order Discount period?

	Combine the 10% Early Order Discount savings with your Learning Resources Credit Allocation of 25% to maximize money saved.
	It's a great time to purchase new resources, and to purchase additional copies to sets you already have.
	A little planning ahead for next year's resource needs can add up to significant savings.

How does it work? Here's an example:

	Learning Resources Centre regular price	Less Early Order Discount (10%)	Less Learning Resources Centre Credit Allocation (25%)	Net Price to Schools	Total Savings per unit/copy
