Information about library services available to schools in Northumberland.

Schools Library Service

 

The Schools Library Service (SLS) operates from a main site at Hepscott Park with a smaller base in Hexham Library.

We have an enthusiastic, experienced and committed team of four Education Librarians, six Library Assistants and a driver / assistant.

Our service is available via an annual Service Agreement to all Northumberland schools and to other bodies in the County concerned with education. We are also able to offer Service Agreements to independent schools and schools outside Northumberland County Council

 

Hepscott Park

Our main site is open from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm Monday to Friday, excluding Bank Holidays. We are open during the school holidays for visits and phone calls (normal hours apply).

For general queries ring 01670 534354 or email generalsls@northumberland.gov.uk

 

Hexham Site

SLS Hexham is based in Hexham Library, which is situated in the Queens Hall and has the same opening times as the Public Library. SLS staff are not always available at the Hexham site so if you are likely to need assistance please contact us in advance. When not staffed items can still be borrowed via the Public Library issue desk.

For general queries ring 01434 652487 or 01434 652491 or email generalsls@northumberland.gov.uk
