Schools' Library Service

Hello and welcome to Wigan Schools’ Library Service homepage!

Our service is part of Libraries and Lifelong Learning, and we’re dedicated to providing quality learning resources, support and advice to all Wigan Local Authority Schools in a cost effective way.

By providing a range of books and resources, our aim is to support children’s learning and to assist in developing a passion for reading in children. Through a range of targeted book project loans, complementary audio-visual and teacher resources, and our museum loan service, we aim to bring learning to life, helping to ignite the imaginations of local children.

Throughout this website you will find a wide range of information that will help and support your work, both in and out of the classroom. Whether you’re looking for a project loan on your chosen topic of study, a collection of artefacts to help bring the curriculum to life before your pupils’ eyes, or advice on how to develop your school’s library, we’re here to help.

And don’t forget that as part of Wigan Libraries, we can also help to put you in touch with our Children’s Team to arrange a class visit to your local library.

► Explore Book Awards 2008
The Explore Book Award is Wigan and Leigh’s very own children’s book award. During the summer of 2007 we asked pupils from a selection of the borough’s schools to help us determine the shortlists for the 2008 Explore Book Award. See the shortlists and make sure you vote!
