<div dir="ltr">Hello Melody,<div>An open source solution like Koha might be the best bet, as Diedre suggests, assuming you can get it programmed. But as an alternative, I used to work at a library that used <a href="http://www.libraryworld.com/index.html">LibraryWorld</a>. It was not free, but was under $500 a year (it used to be a dollar a day), and was an 'out of the box' solution. It was certainly not as robust as one might like, but it was web-based so you don't need to worry about hosting, and you don't need someone with coding skills to get it out of the gate. </div><div>Good luck, and please keep us posted about how it's going and if you have any other questions--this is a wonderful group that is always willing to troubleshoot and share ideas.</div><div>Elsa</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 10, 2017 at 11:42 AM, Diedre Conkling <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:diedre08@gmail.com" target="_blank">diedre08@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div>I'm not sure how the word logs got in there.
