Bring your classroom topics to life and support your teaching with books from our School Library Service. Carmarthenshire Libraries provides a wide range of English and Welsh books to support your termly curriculum themes. Let us know your termly theme’s and we will deliver them to your school at the start of term and collect them at the end, making it easy for you to access quality reading materials.

Book Selection:
The service supports the Curriculum for Wales Framework and reflects changing content ensuring well-maintained stock that’s both relevant and engaging. Our wide range of non-fiction books support pupil’s learning and covers a wide variety of subjects from computing to history. Whilst our stock of fiction books support reading for pleasure. It has been proved that children having access to their own books can have a positive impact on attainment. Dyslexia friendly fiction and class readers are also available, along with board and picture books for your younger year groups.

How do you make a request for a school library delivery?
Requests can be placed for books to be delivered to your school by emailing schoolslibrary@carmarthenshire.gov.uk. The requests are delivered to your school and automatically renewed during the term. Books will be collected upon your request, for ease of use, new requests can also be delivered at the same time.

This is a FREE service available for schools across Carmarthenshire. New titles are regularly added to create a comprehensive and relevant service. Many schools have joined the service with very positive feedback and are returning to use the service term after term. We do hope that you will take advantage of this fantastic free service and that Carmarthenshire libraries can support you as a school every term.
