What would be the easiest way to catalog every prop my school drama department has?
On the harder side of the world, there are entire open source products like Koha (https://koha-community.org) and Evergreen (https://evergreen-ils.org) that are capable of running large libraries, but require installation and systems maintenance. On the easier, something like Librarycat (https://www.librarycat.org) might work fine for your needs (and if you end up using it, lmk...the developer is a friend) or Liblib (https://www.libib.com) or Librarika (https://librarika.com).

Talk to me about your ILS! Who loves their ILS? Who hates their ILS?
We use PINES which is based on Evergreen, which is open-source. I believe there are vendors you can pay to help you set it up and run it, and there's a volunteer community that will help, too. Of course, this is at the expense of having someone else run it *for* you, but my understanding is that we (Georgia libraries that use PINES) decided to make the software to address limitations in existing ILSs. So, if your library wants to bring it in-house (so customer service etc. are not even an issue) might be worth a look!

do you have a spreadsheet to organize your collection?
I’ve thought about using a self-hosted library management system like evergreen to manage everything. But, I’ve got 20,000 other small projects to complete before then.

FOSS lending system for $stuff
We are lending stuff like books, laptops, beer benches (hallo freunde) and other stuff. Currently we are using librebooking, but obviously this is not the intended use case. Stuff like maximum lended objects is relevant to us. I saw koha which looks promising, but as it is intended for a library it has any features we dont need, such as acquistion. Any ideas?
