Non-profit Community Library Interested In Handy Library

Non-profit Community Library Interested In Handy Library. We are a small non-profit Community Library that is interested in PrimaSoft PC, Inc. Our previous Library system, Stacks is no longer current so a new program is a must! After downloading the free trial, we have a few questions to ask about some features that are on our previous library software, in hopes that these features can apply through your software.
1. Can spine labels be printed?
2. Patron Status: Does this record when a patron membership expires, besides Status: Active, inactive, banned (Our previous system can record one-year memberships)
3. Does program record late fees? (We charge 0.25 a day per overdue book)
4. Does program record Holiday’s, Closed Days?
5. Will program allow a print of overdue books/fines?
6. What is the price for your cataloging system?
7. Do we have to pay every year?
8. Is there an online site where information can be imported into the system or do we catalogue books manually?
9. Is there an unlimited amount of book titles that can be entered?
