"The resource centre will be opened to front-line registered child care staff, child care service personnel, child care training personnel as well as approved child care training course students," a spokesman for the department said today (Thursday).

"Services provided include on-the-spot study and loan of reference materials: preview and loan of audio-visual materials; exhibition of self-made quality teaching aids and activity projects; and production of Cantonese-dubbed version of foreign video programmes.
"The resource centre has initially more than 1,000 items of reference materials including books, periodicals, reports. newsletters, pamphlets/leaflets and newspaper clippings," the spokesman said, adding that new items will be added from time to time.
In order to provide better service to users. the CCSRC will adopt an extended service hours scheme on every first Saturday of the month.
