Pretty sure most of these questions have been asked and the answer(s) were no.

1. 2. 5. I would suggest that you set up VPNs, one with a subset library for minors, one for adults.

I am not a VPN expert, but I know you can set up access levels that way for other software such as demos.

4. Make a custom column per user for the favorite books. Then it is one click in tag browser to show them.

3. Calibre will do automatic news downloads, but no torrents. Ethical and legal reasons perhaps.


#2 raises an interesting question. If a minor has a library card are they restricted in any way from downloading unsuitable content. Not that the library carries exceptionally offensive material, but I have borrowed books that I would not want a minor to be subjected to accidentally.

I am pretty sure that even the very expensive library software used by institutions does not fulfills all of your requirements, but I am probably wrong there.

Would be interested in knowing what you come up with.
