Wirral SLS isn’t a cost. It’s a financial shield. £10.78 per pupil protects £10k+ of provision your school would otherwise fund alone. This is budget strategy, not library admin 📚🛡️💰#borrowdontbuy @Headteacherchat @CAcademiesTrust @OakTreesMAT @LLMat2022

Sir David Attenborough is 100 this week. Let's celebrate his incredible contribution to science, storytelling, and conservation. His books and wildlife documentaries have inspired generations of children to explore the natural world with curiosity and kindness.

Denmark has officially gone old‑school.
Literally.
They’re putting books back at the heart of learning, because sometimes the best “learning app” is made of paper. Want to do the same?
Wirral SLS has the books - let us help re-ignite reading in your school! #goallin

[Wirral SLS @slswirral]

Calling all academy schools! If you are unsure about costs, here’s some good news: you pay exactly the same rate as maintained schools to use Wirral Schools' Library Service. No hidden fees. No different tariffs. Just equal access to books, artefacts and library advice #Goallin
