Advice/Practical Assistance
ELRS staff are available to audit, edit, classify and arrange stock in libraries or classrooms of subscribing schools. The package of materials necessary for this is also included in the subscription cost.
How long will it take?
An initial assessment of you library/resource area can be made quickly. However, time should be allowed for acquiring shelves, equipment and stock. Once the decision to progress has been given, the work in the library/resource area should take a couple of weeks.
Refurbishment of existing libraries/resource areas can be achieved quickly and with minimal disruption. ELRS encourages, and can arrange, visits to other schools to see how they tackle resources.
