Hi Everyone, Thank you to all the super helpful responses regarding your use of Local Hop, the cost, or what else you might like for calendar / reservation software! I had lots of interest in the answers, so I took out identifying info and am posting the answers below: *** We have the LocalHop event calendar embedded in our website. I believe we pay about $500/yr. Can't remember if they use legal service population in calculating the charge or not. So, just in case, we serve a population of 27,380. We've used Library Calendar from Library Market<https://www.librarymarket.com/> for the last year and a half. I'm not sure of the pricing, but I can connect you with someone who would know. We had used a different product before, but it was discontinued. On the patron end, it is easy to sign up for programs. On my end, as a librarian who does programs, it took some time to get used to, but I find it to be user-friendly. I think the most challenging part is that there is a lot of information to enter when registering for an event, so you want to click all the dropdown menus to ensure you are entering the correct information. We use Assabet software for program & event registration. We really like it; it has made program & event registration so much easier! They offer a module for room reservations too, but we do that ourselves. We pay about $800/year for the event registration. https://www.assabetinteractive.com/ The ***Library is a Class V library and we recently contracted with Library Market for our website update and included their Library Calendar module to the site as well. Our new site launches to the public 10/15/25. We are very happy working with this vendor and the cost was reasonable for the work they did/do. Here is their website: https://www.librarymarket.com/ Here is the link to their product Library Calendar: https://www.librarymarket.com/library-calendar Cost was $25,000 all in for website redesign and implementation of Library Calendar module. Going with just the Library Calendar module is possible and costs considerably less money. We use LocalHop for room reservation and web calendar. The web calendar is around $600 and the room reservation is for $2900. Hope that helps - they charge you based on the number of rooms so if you have less rooms then it would be cheaper. We use Local Hop – it costs us $123/year. We use the calendar embedded in our website, but not the room reservation part. For reference, we have an approximately 7,000 person service area if that matters. We use LibCal from Springshare, and it works very well. We had Local Hop for maybe two years, and my staff complained about it constantly! They didn't like the back end because you couldn't see all the information (date, set-up, description, etc.) on one page. It was not that intuitive, hard to update, and didn't work well for our three branches. It might work better for one, though. We switched to Library Market, and everyone is really happy. I went from monthly complaints to zero complaints. Thanks! Kimberly Schaaf Director, Oak Park Public Library 14200 Oak Park Blvd. Oak Park, MI 48237 Office: 248-691-7566
