I also use OPALS and I love it, but as Dora Salm says, it is “too robust” for the use this woman needs. Surpass costs money, and she does not have it to spend. Library Ting does not have a circulation component, so that does not fit the need.
I was thinking about Koha. Does anyone know anything about it?

Her comments follow. (I've also updated the wiki page on synagogue automation to reflect this new info. Please keep your comments coming if you have any other programs to share.) Joyce I am currently using two programs that are not on the wiki list. At work I use Surpass. I actually use Surpass CL. The CL is the "Church Library" edition designed for small houses of worship. It is cheaper than the full version, but you can still purchase their online hosting service. A great option for very small libraries who do not need to use an electronic circulation system is LibraryThing.com. There is a small $25 fee to provide "lifetime" usage of the website. I tweaked it for my home synagogue's library so that I use the comments section for the Weine numbers as explained on the "cover" page for the library. Circulation is small enough that we still use cards and provide pre-printed family stickers for Shabbat circulation. If you go herehttps://www.librarything.com/profile/HPCT-CAE, you will notice on the right hand side that a lot of synagogues are using the site.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
