Schools Library ServiceHertfordshire Schools Library Service closed on 31 March 2012. Hertfordshire Schools may find the following contacts useful in the future: Hertfordshire Public LibrariesGeneral Information: Information for teachers: Dual and Foreign Language CollectionFrom April 2012 the substantial collection of dual and foreign language collection will be held by the BME Achievement team. There are approximately 2000 books and over 60 different languages available to support speakers of other languages. The collection aims to support speakers of, and not learners of, a language. The books range from nursery to lower secondary but are predominantly fiction. The majority of dual language books support KS1 and KS2. For some of the most popular novels we are able to supply the foreign language edition alongside the English version, for example Jacqueline Wilson and JK Rowling. There will be a small lending fee for this service.
