Book Purchase

Redbridge Schools' Library Service can help schools to buy books for their school library in the following ways:

Visit the school to do a stock check to identify missing subject areas, followed up by a visit to a Book Supplier. SLS will take the school librarian to the supplier and advise on suitable titles or, with authorisation from the school, will purchase suitable titles on the school's behalf.
Allow schools to use SLS stock (available on the internet) to identify good up-to-date resources that can be bought for their own libraries.
Order books for schools at a discount through the public libraries acquisitions department.
Provide schools with the opportunity to purchase excellent, recent second hand SRS stock for minimal prices to supplement the school stock until funding for new books can be raised.
