Social Workers

Learning Resources for Social Workers

From November this year social workers in South West London have improved access to knowledge and library services.

St. George’s Library is one of 12 libraries across London that have recently opened their doors to social workers.

Working in collaboration with Skills for Care and London Health Libraries the aim is to support the information needs of social workers, particularly those engaged in post-qualifying awards. Extra books sponsored by Skills for Care have been bought, and dedicated library staff have been trained on the information needs of social workers.

Who is eligible to join?
Any borough social worker  in Wandsworth or Sutton and Merton.

How do I join?
Visit the library during normal office hours to sign up. Please bring your staff ID or proof of address.
