How to subscribe to the Library
Local schools can subscribe to the full range of library services through a service level agreement. This guarantees a set range of services and is advertised in the Cambridge Education @ Islington SLA brochure.
Schools in other areas, private schools and other users can set up a service level agreement on the same basis or can subscribe to parts of the service or for specific year groups.

100 items for the school library.
