Library management system / database

Howdy! I run a baby sling library. I rent out baby slings and carriers for a small fee and a returnable deposit.

I'd like a system that allows the following:

Catalogue each sling (currently 90) with detailed descriptions of each, photos and hire status/history

Reserve, hire, extend hire, return each sling

Record details about each customer - contact details, children, what has been rented, if they are a member

Produce simple reports to help me decide which slings are popular/profitable

Automatically send email to customers at the start and the end of each loan period (specific to the sling) including attachments

Allow customers to browse, reserve, hire,add reviews/photos to slings online and pay for hire via my website (and possibly with an app, but not essential)


I don't really know how this can be implemented, but know exactly what I'd like (but can be flexible on some of it if dictated by systems). I use my ipad a lot so was considering someone using QR codes that could be read on there. Or maybe adapting some existing integrated library management system like Evergreen (open source).

I'm happy to provide further information and to discuss options. Budget and timescales can be adaptable, so just let me know if you think you can help. There are other people who run similar business to me around the country who are interested in soething similar who I'd be happy to pass your details on to.

Thanks so much for reading!
