Schools Literacy & Resource Centre

The Schools Literacy & Resource Centre (SLRC) provides a loans and advisory service for Primary and Secondary schools, nurseries, school improvement officers and home tutors in Monmouthshire and Torfaen.

Individuals can borrow up to 60 books; also story sacks, DVDs, talking books, photo packs and large format books to support the curriculum. Schools and nurseries receive a collection of fiction books for Home-School reading to be placed in the classroom or kept centrally in the school library; also various artefact collections.

A professionally qualified adviser can visit schools and help set up, re-organize and promote the school library. Training in information skills, reader development and improving literacy can be booked either for a general staff meeting or as part of a school training day.
