LRH Referral Scheme

Thinking about membership with Learning Resources Hub?

We know that the best recommendations often come from teachers and schools themselves.

Many of our new memberships start with a simple conversation between schools – a headteacher telling another how much our resources and collections enrich the learning in their school.

To thank you for spreading the word, we’ve launched a referral scheme – a simple way for your school to benefit when you refer another school to the Learning Resources Hub loan service.

To submit your referral simply complete the form here:  Learning Resources Hub Referral Form – Fill in form

 

There are a range of membership options available for all primary and special schools - see here for more information… 

 

Bespoke Book Shopper Service

Would you like help choosing new books for your library or classroom?

LRH has a new bespoke book shopper service for 2026.  All you need to do is let us have as much information as possible about your requirements, for example:

• What is your budget?

• What ages/abilities are the books for?

• Are they to be targeted in any way (eg for children with dyslexia, hi-age/lo ability, reluctant readers)

• Do you want all fiction, new fiction, a focus on diverse and inclusive books, accelerated reader titles, graphic fiction, picture books, or a mix?

• Would you like your books to be delivered with protective jackets?

Simply email us with as much information as possible, at wslr@wiltshire.gov.uk, putting Bespoke Book Shopper Service in the Subject line, and we will get in touch.
