What is the General Resource Library?

The Children's Services Central General Resource Library is funded through the Australian Government's Inclusion and Professional Support Program. In NSW, this is delivered by Gowrie NSW on behalf of Children's Services Central.

The General Resource Library is a specialist children's services resource pool. It contains children's literature, hands-on materials for children and educators, articles, resources to support curriculum development, the EYLF and the NQF. The library also includes resources for staff professional development, multimedia and a range of other resources that education and care services in NSW may wish to use. The great thing about the General Resource Library is that you can access resources online.
