Our customers say
I cannot recommend Peters highly enough. We took a group of students for a visit to buy books for our library and it was a phenomenal experience. Knowledgeable and friendly staff and a magnificent showroom.
Kevin Cobane, English and Mathematics Teacher, University of Birmingham School
We love the information provided by Peters when it comes to buying books. The reviews are by real librarians who've read the books and the info on key stages, keywords and reading ages is great. Major time-saving help!
Cassie Kemp, Librarian at Midlands Creative Learning Services
Peters' library reorganisation service has been invaluable in helping us move forward in developing a love of reading across the school. They provided us with such high-quality reading material, as well as removing any outdated books. The children have been so excited with the new books, and the teachers found it helpful to have non-fiction books matched to their topics. I can whole-heartedly recommend using Peters to improve reading standards within a school.

Thanks to money donated by our Dragons Den initiative, a group of students and staff visited @Petersbooks in Birmingham, who were kind enough to give us exclusive access to their whole showroom so that students could browse and buy new books for the college library!
