Sounds great.  Will you need to provide a spanish language interface?
We're trying to get people involved in the spanish translation, and haing
a library actively pursuing Koha might help.

You might look into cuecat which is cheap and seems to work.  Here is
another link for you to look at:

Other pointers ... stay involved in the mailing list and ask lots of
questions.  If you could occasionally provide some, that'd be nice to, but
we'll give you a while to get used to Koha first ;)

Would you mind updating us from time to time on your progress?  We're
trying to collect as much information about Koha's use as possible.

thanks,
