Resources available include:

Just select how many you need at each colour, complete the fiction loan form (see attachments below) and return to the school library service.

Project loans

Need a collection of books to support your history, science and numeric work? We have a wide selection of books covering all aspects of the National Curriculum subjects at Key Stages 1,2 and 3. All you need to do is complete a project loan form (see attachments below).

Reading sets

We can supply you with reading sets and guided readers to support the National Literacy Strategy. These consist of fiction at key stages 1,2 and 3. This list is updated annually and suggestions for additions are always welcome. Reading sets need to be ordered on a project loan form with the title requested and number of copies required.

Big books

An extensive collection of big book titles is available. You need to indicate which key stage you need and if you have any special requirements i.e. non-fiction. Again these need to be ordered on a project loan form.

Story tapes

A selection of story tapes are available to use with reading packs. Please consult the class reader list to find range of titles and order on a project loan form.

Videos

A range of videos are available to support the National Literacy Strategy. Titles in stock can be found on the video list and need to be ordered on a project loan form.

Poetry

Collections of poetry books are available at Key Stages 1,2 and 3. These will be tailor made to your requirements. If you need poetry as a guided reading set the titles available will be on the class reader list. They need to be ordered on a project loan form.

All resources should be ordered on the appropriate form and sent to School Library Service.

Please note that this service is available to those schools that have subscribed to the Service Level Agreement.
