DESCRIPTION

The client seeks a vendor to provide an integrated library software solution aimed at public libraries, focusing on cost-efficiency and operational effectiveness. The solution should support key system-wide priorities such as advanced batch tools, robust integration with city and vendor systems, detailed privacy and security provisions, and flexible, exportable reporting functionalities.

Required features include custom fields for bibliographic and item records, batch editing capabilities, record set management, serials and multi-volume handling, and options to suppress records from public view. The software must also offer multi-language support, detailed item-level data, customizable labels, an editing preview function, automated holds pickup management, and intuitive navigation for patron services. Additional needs are broad patron record notes and blocks, transaction history with privacy options, website integration with platforms like WordPress or WIX, user-friendly dashboards with drill-down capabilities, and complex, customizable reporting that does not require IT intervention.

Questions about the RFP are due by June 17, 2026, and a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for June 8, 2026. The chosen vendor will enter into a three-year contract.
