LibLime offers a refreshing alternative to expensive proprietary automation software. Our open-source products offer cutting-edge technologies and features with the freedom to customize. You'll never pay licensing fees, which frees up your budget to invest in core library services or any customizations you may need. Unlike most proprietary software, our product features aren't sold on a 'modular' basis. You always have access to all of the features that have been developed for the product you choose. If a larger institution pays for the development of a new feature, you benefit as well (that's good news for school libraries operating on tight budgets!).
