<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> The Big Rapids Community Library is looking into options for ILS software. We currently use Sierra, an Innovative product, but due to our current user arrangement we are looking to switch systems in the
next year or so. If you could provide any feedback on what you like about your current system or what you dislike about your current system, particularly pertaining to MeL, it would be much appreciated.
