Library collection for teachers

This service is for primary and special schools in East Sussex.

Your Teachers’ Library Card entitles you to borrow up to 40 books for 12 weeks from our special Teachers’ Collection. You can reserve the books online for free and have them delivered to your library of choice for you to collect.

How to reserve your books

You will need your Teachers’ Library card and the PIN you chose when you completed your membership information to reserve books from the teachers’ collection.

This is a free service for teachers. There are no reservation charges or overdue charges, but please let us know if a book get lost or damaged.

Once your books have been delivered to your library of choice, you will be sent an email to say that they are ready to collect. You will have two weeks in which to collect them.  It is also possible to have your books delivered directly to any East Sussex school or academy that uses the internal courier.  This option is available in term time only.

When you have finished with your collection of books please bring them in their box to your library. You can borrow the books for up to 12 weeks. Please tell staff that you have books from the Teachers’ Collection to return. Please do not try to return your books through self- service machines. Books being returned using the courier service should be left at your school office ready for collection.  Please make office staff aware that they are to be collected.
