Each school selects books to their individual requirements. A financial arrangement has been agreed whereby schools can invest in extra books by transferring money from their own budgets. Schools can borrow five sets each half-term. There is a charge of 200 to join this service, and a retaining fee of 50 a year. Contact Schools Library Service or David Reedy at the CIAS, at the Westbury centre for more details Fiction Loans for Key Stage 2 Meetings and Courses SLS has a small selection of fiction loan boxes for Key Stage 2.
