I would like to set up a library system that allows check out, check in, searching, and maintenance of a small to medium size collection of books at a school. Hopefully the system could be distributed (e.g. Web accessible) so that kids from any classroom with a computer could search the library.
I agree, Delicious Monster would be an excellent program to use. However, we need to work in a Windows environment. Is there a program like Delicious Monster’s Library for Windows?
If you are working on a Mac, Delcicious Monster is a nice piece of software.
What is a good and inexpensive software solution for setting up a library system at a school?

You will need a database management system. An inexpensive one, MS Access is included with MS Office, i’m not sure whether that could be net-distributed.
Otherwise you could set up a MySQL database on a cental server and use JSP to make the database available online for search, and an extended version for the librarians to check books in and out.
