The Child-to-Child Library    
  The Child-to-Child Trust has established a specialist collection of health education material. The main part of this resource consists of Child-to-Child publications and a wide range of project reports, resource books, training guides and audio-visual material relating to the promotion and use of the Child-to-Child concept and approach. The collection also contains significant sections on health-related topics, child rights and children in difficult circumstances.

The collection is a unique source of primary data on health education approaches, field-based information and case studies from around the world. It forms a vital information base for Child-to-Child's work in material production, training and networking.
