New Accessit and Peters Partnership Helps UK Schools Strengthen Libraries Without Compromising Budgets
Accessit by Follett Software launches promotional campaign offering schools up to £500 in free books
LONDON, UK — Budget constraints should never stand in the way of great libraries. That’s the message behind a new campaign from Accessit, the intuitive, school-wide library management system from Follett Software, now teaming up with trusted school book supplier Peters to help UK schools do more with less.
Through 30 September 2025, UK schools that adopt Accessit Library will receive up to £500 worth of books from Peters — an offer designed to remove a common barrier to library improvement: the perceived trade-off between digital infrastructure and physical books.
“Every child deserves easy access to stories that spark curiosity and a lifelong love of learning,” said Natalie Screen, General Manager, Accessit. “By pairing Accessit’s platform with Peters’ generous book offer, we’re clearing the path for schools to nurture reading engagement—without forcing them to choose between technology and a rich, inviting collection.”
The offer is open to all UK primary, secondary, and further education schools implementing Accessit Library for the first time. The book value is tiered by school type and size, with the full details available at www.accessitlibrary.com/bonus-books. Value is provided via a combination of account credit and enhanced discounts, bringing the total benefit up to £500.
George Wakeman, Customer Relationship Manager at Peters, added, “This is a meaningful offer for schools. Accessit helps streamline the library experience, and we’re proud to complement that by helping schools build the kind of collections that get students excited about reading.”
The campaign also includes something for current Accessit customers. All UK schools already using Accessit Library will enjoy a 30% discount on Peters book purchases through 31 December 2025, ensuring that loyal schools aren’t left behind.
Accessit Library by Follett Software is trusted globally for its ease of use, customisable dashboards, and support for whole-school resource discovery. It helps librarians and teachers create engaging digital and physical library experiences — all backed by a UK-based team of education and library professionals.
“School libraries are where lifelong reading begins,” said Screen. “By bringing together Accessit’s innovative technology and Peters’ rich catalogues, we’re giving schools the tools they need to inspire today’s students — and tomorrow’s.”
