Secondary school teachers can also use this service. Requests should be made through the Librarian or Learning Resources Officer in their school. A wide range of books can be chosen on a long term basis. 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.
