An integrated library system for small libraries

PenLib is our original library catalogue software product and offers very good value-for-money for small workplace libraries. Perhaps you have a few hundred or a few thousand titles, and you don't need a mega expensive system built for large public or academic consortia, but you also need more than a simple catalogue.

Our library cataloguing software is for you!
