About the Multicultural Resource Centre

Our Multicultural Resource Centre (MRC) lending library was established in 1974 in response to a recognised need for early years books and resources that reflect children and families’ cultural histories and respect their unique identities. We encourage you to browse the wide range of children’s books and resources designed to provide opportunities for all children to experience diversity and difference in ways that nurture positive attitudes, and care and respect for others.

Our Pedagogy and Practice Consultants can assist fkaCS members in selecting resources and books to meet their pedagogical needs.
