Education Library Service

The purpose of the Education Library Service is to provide learning materials to schools and advise on their most effective use in order to support the needs of teachers and help them deliver the curriculum effectively to all pupils.

ELS has a team of professional librarians who share a profound knowledge of the wide range of materials available to teachers. They have the experience and insight to compile resource packs tailored to your needs.

The ELS package of services has been devised to support your school library and give you the flexibility you need. Materials are available as and when you need them, subject to demand. The process of selection and ordering is simple and specialist advice is always available. Teachers can concentrate on their job confident that they have the power of a professional team behind them.

We go out of our way to ensure the ELS service is available to teachers when they need it most. The service is tailored to work within the demanding time schedules faced by teachers. Delivery and collection is regular, reliable and consistent as befits a truly professional organisation.

From our central base in Winsford (PDF, 56KB) we are well located both to receive visitors and distribute resources to all subscribing schools. The showroom is open throughout the year, has ample parking, is fully accessible and our staff can assist you in the selection process. Visitors are most welcome and we strongly recommend a visit so you can fully appreciate the scale of what ELS has to offer. Please telephone to make an appointment. You can also visit the Education Library Service pages of the Cheshire Connected Learning Community CCLC.
