book bag

Holds your textbooks

A book bag is a bag for carrying books, especially one used by students for school supplies.

The term overlaps with backpack, though book bag can also refer to bags with handles or shoulder straps rather than the two-strap design worn on the back: She slung her book bag over one shoulder.
