Scheduling Software Recommendations
Hello All, The Richland Community Library is a class 3 library with a staff ranging from 12-15 people. Currently, we are doing all of our scheduling & time off requests through Google Sheets & email and it is becoming increasingly challenging and time consuming. Does anyone have any suggestions for scheduling software/systems that they would recommend for a staff of this size? Thanks!

Thank you, Anna, for this information. I am new in my position and am attempting to figure out the scheduling…which is a nightmare for me to understand. I am following this one as I am also looking for something to assist. Take care, Terri Hebert BPL Director director@bridgmanlibrary.com

Hi Anna, We are a class 3 library with 7 people and we use https://getsling.com/pricing/ for our scheduling. They have three models, Free, Premium and Business. Currently we use their free platform, but I have considered their business model to tap into their PTO tracking features. I do still use an excel sheet to track totals for each employee as the free version doesn't cover that. I've been using them for a few years now and have not had any problems.
