- I work in a learning support role in the New Zealand education sector
You may be eligible to join our library if you are currently employed in the New Zealand education sector and work in a disability or learning support role in a school, specialist school, or early intervention centre.
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.
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.
- The EPIC package includes many of the same databases that our library has and includes both research and practical resources.
