Q. Would I put this in under books and materials in the education expenses section?

A. Yes. Those count as course materials required for attendance. 

Enter in the books and other expenses section as materials not required to be purchased from the school. They will qualify for the American Opportunity Credit but not the Lifetime Learning Credit.
