- A listing of the titles in the collection categorised by reading age is also available here to assist with your selection of an appropriate title for your class.
- Contact your local library to request the title you are looking for. We would encourage teacher's to browse the catalogue for alternative titles also in case your first choice is already on loan. Contact details and open hours for your local library can be viewed here.
- There are no charges/ fines on class sets but it is still very important for teacher's to borrow and return their class sets within the 60 day loan period so that we can provide a reliable and prompt service to all teachers.
- Your local library will order your class set and will notify you once it is available for collection.
- For any further information about the service please contact your local library. Contact details available here.
