Integrated Library Software

The issuing agency is seeking an integrated library software solution from companies that specialize in providing cost-effective and efficient software for public libraries. The agency needs to solve operational inefficiencies by securing a system with robust batch tools, seamless integration with city and vendor systems, flexible reporting with export capabilities, and strong privacy and security safeguards. The project covers a three-year contract period for an offsite, USA-based organization. The requested scope of work requires custom fields for bibliographic and item records, batch editing, record set management, serials and multi-volume handling, and suppression of records from public view. The software must support multiple languages and diacritics, detailed item-level information, customizable labels, a preview function for batch edits, and automated holds pickup management. Additionally, the system must facilitate easy navigation between patron accounts, robust patron record notes and blocks, and transaction history with opt-in or opt-out privacy options. The agency also requires website integration with platforms such as WordPress or WIX, dashboards with drill-down capabilities, complex multi-parameter reports, and custom report creation and sharing without IT intervention. Bidders must be USA-based organizations to meet eligibility rules, and they can submit their proposals digitally via email or online. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget and will hold a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on June 8, 2026, with all questions due no later than June 17, 2026.
