What resources are available?

The Children's Services Central General Resource Library is funded through the Australian Government's Inclusion and Professional Support Program and is delivered by Lady Gowrie Child Centre for Children's Services Central.

The General Resource Library is a specialist children's services resource pool. It contains books, articles, videos, and a range of other resources that children's services in NSW may wish to access. It incorporates some of the resources that the old SUPS teams had, and some of the resources of the Gowrie Library.

All children's services in New South Wales are able to borrow from the library after becoming a library member. You can browse the catalogue or search for an item whether you are a member or not.
