The aim of the Education Resource Service is to:
- Support teaching and learning in North Ayrshire
- Offer centralised collection of topic boxes, Scots Language and Confucius Classroom resources for loan to education staff
- Provide advice and guidance to education staff on literacy and libraries to support schools
The ERS Library is located at Princes Street, Ardrossan, alongside Ardrossan Library.
Education staff are welcome to borrow books from our collections.
Online resources are available within this blog.
Every Child A Library Member (ECALM)
ECALM is a universal offer for Children’s library membership in Scotland and highlights the benefits of library use from an early age to support early language, literacy, and social skills. All Scottish public library services are now committed to delivering ECALM. North Ayrshire Libraries fully support the campaign and indeed one of North Ayrshire’s schools was the first in Scotland to ensure all pupils were registered as library members.
