Their should be used to describe something (idea or object) that "belongs to them". These are their books. It was their idea.

A frequent error, their should not be used when describing something that belongs to a single person when the gender is unknown. His or her should be used in these situations.

By contrast, There is a place. Not here, but there. The books are over there.

They're is a contraction for the two words "They are." They're looking for their books over there.
