Library services for Secondary Schools

Selection of resources for schools

Libraries in Shropshire provide a wealth of resources for children of secondary school age and their parents, carers and teachers. Each library has a good selection of books and other material to stimulate reading and learning. Special events and activities are organised such as the Summer Reading Challenge and class visits. Some libraries have Homework Clubs. Please contact your local library to find out more.

The School Library Service is dedicated to providing a range of resources and advice to Secondary Schools in the area covered by Shropshire Council and Telford and Wrekin Council. Each class in a subscribing school may borrow the resources described here. To place an order, please follow the link to "Request for resources from the School Library Service".
