Linux.com has an article on the Evergreen ILS which is Open Source Linux alternative to the proprietary patron-unfriendly library systems. Evergreen serves Georgia’s statewide library service (GPLS), runs on Linux with Apache, a PostgreSQL database, Jabber messaging (how cool is that?!), and XUL. The catalog looks pretty good and offers awesome functionality especially with spellchecking and suggestions. From a financial standpoint it sounds great too.
