Library services to schools
We are a small corporate library providing a service to people directly employed by the central government education agencies. The Ministry provides library services to schools through the National Library's Services to Schools and EPIC for New Zealand Schools
The EPIC package is tailored to the needs of people working in schools. It gives teachers and school leaders access to research articles on the education sector, learning and teaching, as well as resources to support the curriculum, sample lesson plans, and training resources.
Using the Ministry's library
You will have self-service access to our library so you can search our catalogue, databases, and online resources to find information and research. You can borrow books, but you will need to pay for the return postage and there may be a charge for lost or damaged items.
