Resources for Staff in South Acton Children’s Centre  

Staff Resource Library 

There is a staff resource library located in the basement lobby of the Family and Community Team office in the South Acton Children’s Centre.  The library consists of extensive curriculum materials as well as family support literature.  In addition, in the same location, there is a parent support library that covers a wide area of information needs facing parents. There is an index file for the parent support library located at the beginning of the library and there is a list of the books and videos available for staff to loan on the bookshelf. Please feel free to ask a member of the Family and Community Team to give you a short ‘tour’ of the resource area.
