#NonFiction November is the perfect opportunity to promote your library's factual texts 📚

For librarians creating displays, Accessit's 'On Display' function helpfully fact-checks when it's time to put books back on the shelves! ✨

Happy Halloween to librarians who spend all year treating their borrowers to tricks of the book trade 📚🍬

For those on half-term, indulge yourself in some literary goodies - and baddies - on the spookiest night of the year! 👻
