Kent County Council is planning to spend £600k on just 8 parking spaces and £150k on personal assistants... all while trying to cut vital local services like our libraries and tips! 🤦‍♀️ We need to stop this massive waste of taxpayer money.

After navigating the streets of London, @accessit.bsky.social librarians have been learning about enabling their borrowers to find their way around their libraries. A session on library maps at our first roadshow of the week provided plenty to think about and act upon. #CPD #maps

Share your ideas with us! Chelsea, our Senior Product Manager, let us know that our UK librarians submitted the most Product Ideas last year! You can find the Product Idea form on the Customer Portal. Great to have Chels and Isaac from our New Zealand office on the road with us. #roadshow #idea

A lovely morning's group chat about library maps 🗺️, library lessons and how to encourage return of overdues. This afternoon, we're looking at ways to increase reading for pleasure for students in the Manchester area! #readingforpleasure #NationalYearOfReading

The 2026 UK Accessit Roadshow tour kicks off today at The Clayton Hotel in Manchester! We're so excited to be meeting Accessit users for a day discussing all things library and literacy... #librarians #readers #literacy

I would recommend- I’m loving it so far!

Get World Book Day ready!

Looking at the choice of sessions on offer this is going to be a brilliant day of learning, sharing ideas and meeting other librarians!

Happy to say I resisted temptation, but am going to enjoy unwrapping this #SecretSanta. Thank you to the person who donated it, and a big thanks to the team @bertsbooks.bsky.social for a fabulous year of reading!

Today is #GamesDay, the perfect chance to mark the fun side of the festive season ⚽ Whether online, on the pitch or around the table, here's hoping all our librarians' next few weeks are full of joyful competitiveness! ✨❤️

The only month of the year your shelves may be used for mischief and mayhem! ✨🎄📚 From the UK Accessit team, Happy #ElfDay to all librarians using the occasion to raise awareness and funds for the Alzheimer's Society#ElfDay❤️

Okay, here we go. Health & care staff are no longer allowed a Covid booster, but they're still expected to look after COVID+ patients. NHS/govt is reneging on its duty of care. Staff will become unwell, and patients too will suffer. You know what to do 👇✍️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

If anyone is looking for more unique Christmas decor. www.instagram.com/p/DRaGcHIjNP...

One of the main themes of the Roadshow is Collaboration. Librarians at all venues this week have loved hearing from our guest speaker from Browns Books about the role they can play in #readingforpleasure.

Our brilliant panellists have lit up each of our Roadshow events this week. A huge thanks to our librarians at @colytongrammar.bsky.social and The Woodroffe School for sharing their ideas and inspiration in Exeter today. #AccessitLibrarians #AccessitAmbassadors

Lots of lovely chats today about the impact librarians can have. A huge thanks to two of our own, from Bournemouth School and St Anne's Catholic School and Sixth Form, for sharing their inspiring work. #learningtogether #librarians

Day 2 of the Roadshow, this time in sunny Fareham! Hoping today's sequel is as much fun as yesterday's first instalment. Half of our attendees are currently hearing from our collaborative partners at Browns, while the rest of our librarians are building their Visual Search sections!

Congratulations to all the shortlisted authors and illustrators! Our web app technicians will now be finalising our #Carnegies2025 dashboard, keep an eye out for it arriving on ALeC.

What a fantastic first day on the road! It was lovely meeting so many of our Bristol-based librarians - the show now moves onto Fareham. There's still time to book if we're heading to a location near you. accessitlibrary.com/roadshow/

A fantastic panel session with our librarians at Balcarras School and Wycliffe College. Hearing real-life experiences from current Accessit users is so valuable to attendees - and to us! A huge thank you to our Accessit Ambassadors! #CPD #ProfessionalDevelopment
