With the assistance of P & C funding, the
Library has begun a 'parent collection' to be housed in our Teacher
Reference section. Currently there are 18 titles available (see
details below) to parents for borrowing. The loan period is 3
weeks and because we are just beginning, there is a maximum loan
of two titles at any one time. Please see Library Staff for further
