Terry James Resource Centre is a library and printing centre open to all educators and employees at Upper Grand District School Board. We provide staff with access to resources - print, hands-on, and digital - as well as printing services, project support, and collaborative workspaces.

Our dedicated and experienced team is available on site to help with questions and offer guidance around everything from finding books and accessing streaming videos, to using the laminators and requesting supplies. And if you aren’t able to visit in person, not to worry - we’re only an email away.
