Can you guess what Library Manager is designed to do? Yes, that’s right, it’s designed to manage a library, or rather it’s software designed to help libraries manage the books in their library. And with that purpose in mind, it does a rather good job of it. While it may not be a bibliophile's dream it certainly is good for those who have to manage bibliophiles and their dreams.

Library Manager really does have quite a lot going for it. The interface is easy to use, as is the install. As it’s main purpose is to manage and arrange books, library managers can rest assured that the software does a good job here. Books can be arranged using standard filing systems and can be cross referenced easily. Bar Code 39 can be printed for Books by their Accession Number, which is nice.
