RSVP for events (with name, phone, email)<br \/>\n3.  Ability to RSVP multiple people at once (example: a parent bringing several children to an event could RSVP all of them at once and fill in their names, instead of having to reload the page and RSVP each child individually.)<br \/>\n4.  Ability to RSVP on a mobile device<br \/>\n5.  Editor functionality that does not require access to our entire WordPress site. We would like staff members to be able to add their own events, but not have the ability to go changing around our website! We do not need community-added events, only staff.<br \/>\n6.  Ability to quickly email RSVP&#8217;d guests if an event is cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>Our current calendar solution meets all of the above points except practical functionality on mobile devices. The lack of mobile support is a dealbreaking at this point, so we&#8217;re looking at other solutions. If you could meet the items on the above wishlist, you would seriously open up your customer base to the world of public libraries.
