Delta operates a dynamic and well-equipped resource centre. It caters for members of the public, students, teachers and the education staff requiring information for projects on environmental and ecological matters. A unique collection of books, magazines, pamphlets, videos, slides and posters can be used as references to assist research or project work.Natural Histrory Museum exhibit

Thanks to the generosity of one of Delta's sponsors, the resource centre has a computer which is used for cataloging and indexing books and periodicals, making information more easily available. Staff also use this wonderful piece of equipment to generate and modify activity sheets for use in the programmes run by the Centre. A photocopying service is also available.
