Simple Little Library System - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Simple Little Library System (SLLS) is designed for real people — librarians, teachers, volunteers, and anyone tasked with managing a library, no matter their level of experience. Whether you’re running a school library, a community space, a church collection, or a prison library, SLLS empowers you to stay organised, save time, and focus on what matters most: your readers.

1. Effortless to Use – No Training Needed
Not every library has an IT team or a trained librarian. That’s why SLLS is built to be intuitive and straightforward. Even complete beginners can quickly learn how to catalogue items, manage loans, and keep track of their collection. Designed with clear layouts, helpful prompts, and simple workflows, it removes the complexity that often comes with library systems.

2. Supports Print and Digital Collections
Manage all types of resources in one place — from physical books to eBooks, journals, DVDs, and more. Whether your library is fully digital, entirely physical, or a mix of both, SLLS keeps everything organised, accessible, and easy to manage.

3. Saves Time with Smart Automation
SLLS takes the hassle out of everyday tasks. Automatic cataloguing features reduce manual data entry. Easy-to-use loan management tools streamline checkouts and returns. Powerful search functions help you find items instantly. The result? You spend less time on admin and more time engaging with your readers.

4. Cloud-Based – Access Anywhere, Anytime
SLLS is fully cloud-based, which means your library system is available from any device — desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Whether you’re in the library, working remotely, or moving between locations, you can manage your collection with ease. No software installations, no complicated updates. Just log in and go.

5. Safe, Secure & Fully GDPR Compliant
Data protection is a top priority. SLLS comes with robust safety measures to keep your information secure and confidential. As a UK-based provider, we ensure full compliance with GDPR and follow best practices for data security, giving you peace of mind.

6. Empowering Volunteers & Small Teams
Many libraries rely on volunteers or small teams with limited resources. SLLS levels the playing field by giving everyone the tools to succeed, no matter their technical skills. We believe library management should be empowering, not intimidating. That’s why our system is designed to support you every step of the way.

7. Dedicated UK-Based Support
Our friendly support team is here to help. Whether you need technical assistance, guidance on using features, or advice on best practices, you can count on responsive, human support from people who genuinely care. We understand the needs of UK libraries and are always happy to help.

8. Supporting Community & Prison Libraries
We believe in giving back. That’s why SLLS offers free volunteer licences for community and prison libraries. These services are vital to their communities, and we’re proud to support them with the tools they need to stay organised and accessible.

9. Flexible & Affordable Pricing
Every library is different. SLLS offers flexible pricing plans to suit your needs and budget. Whether you’re a small community library or a growing school, you’ll find a cost-effective solution that doesn’t compromise on features or support.

10. Risk-Free 30-Day Trial — No Credit Card Needed
