Dear Colleagues, Has anyone had a program by Paleo Joe Kchodl? He's promoting a summer reading dinosaur program in the area. I noticed that he published a series of books on dinosaurs a few years ago. Sincerely, Jaema Jaema Berman Director Addison Twp. Public Library 1400 Rochester Rd.

Free or low priced ILS for very small school library
by Maren Kroening 16 Dec '17

16 Dec '17

Calling any small school libraries, I have a teacher from a very small parochial school (K-8) in our area asking if I know of any open source or at least moderately priced software to catalog their small library. Bonus if it also can track checkouts to their students, although they only have about 30 students so they probably could use a spreadsheet for that. This is not something I’m at all familiar with, but if anyone out there is working in a small school/small library of any type using a free or very low priced ILS or even has heard of suggestions I can pass on to this teacher, I’d be grateful if you could contact me. Please email me directly. If anyone is interested in this topic, I can compile any possible results. Thank you! Maren Kroening Miller Branch, Warren Public Library 5460 Arden, Suite 303 Warren, MI 48092 586.751.5377
