There was no specific library service for children with special educational needs.
Information concerning funding to local authorities for the provision of services to schools follows. The local authority librarians selected, purchased, and delivered books to primary schools, which provided a lending and reference service to pupils.
It was a matter for the individual local authorities, depending on the priority or level of financing given to library services generally, to decide how the schools' libraries were developed and maintained. This grant was abolished with effect from January 2009.
