"Simple Little Library System is simple, efficient, and exactly what I needed. The system is intuitive, the support is direct, helpful and involves a real person, speaking English clearly, answering the telephone without an automated system telling me how important I am. The value for money is exceptional – it’s the library system I would’ve designed myself!”

“Don’t waste your time with old, irritating library software, SLLS is easy to use, very clear, and structured, with a great team to support you along the way”

"The support team are always very helpful and speedy when answering my questions. I am new to the more advanced admin features, like producing reports, etc. and they provide thorough answers using screenshots or a quick online meeting."

“I couldn’t be happier with the SLLS service. It is no-muss, no-fuss, and quick to learn if you have had any experience with other cataloguing systems. SLLS allows the admin to completely customize the software for any library’s needs."

"The best thing about working with Baileys is without doubt the ongoing support and the willingness to shape the product to meet needs. We know the staff and any developments or alterations we may need are swiftly attended to.”

“I previously had Koha and would not recommend this to anyone. So I was looking for a simple system, cost effective, customer service and modern. I then found this one. It is very easy to use, modern, shows what has been catalogued, price, account manager so you if have any issues you can go to them. “
