Q. I'm interested in Surpass CL, but what additional features are available if I choose another Surpass suite for my church or synagogue library?

A. Surpass CL is an outstanding program for church libraries, yet some librarians may wish to use features found in only in Surpass Select
(for libraries of all sizes) and Surpass SL (for libraries with fewer than 5,000 volumes).  Some are advanced capabilities that will be of interest mainly to experienced librarians. At any time, you can purchase an upgrade from Surpass CL to Surpass Select or Surpass SL.

Upgrade to Surpass SL or Select for the following great features:
