The specialist materials are required to meet specific needs e.g. learning disability, reminiscence therapy, speakers of other languages where English is not the first language.

These publisher/library suppliers are Ulverscroft, WF Howes and Bolinda and they offer discount to library authorities and supply the goods serviced for library use.
