Connecting your school with the Library
We want to team up with you to encourage children to read, to help them find the information they need and to develop the skills to use that information.
Encourage visits with the library
This helps children become familiar with library staff and our spaces. Development of reading and information skills are our speciality. Whether you require a story and a browse or a more structured visit, we can help. You can request a visit to the Library with your class or have a librarian visit your school.
Teacher library cards
If you teach at a Marlborough District school you can obtain a school card that provides a six week issue period for books. Please note standard terms and conditions apply to this membership:
- charges for overdue, damaged or lost items
- replacement cost of any item overdue by over five weeks, plus an administration fee for each item
Teachers using a school card are responsible for all the items issued on it.
