by Jessie Zairo on Jan 6, 2022

ByWater Solutions, America’s forefront provider of Open Source library technology support, announced today that they are providing support and hosting services for the Aspen Open Source Discovery system for Grand County Public Library in Utah. Grand County Public Library has been a ByWater Solutions partner and Koha ILS user since 2012 so we were very excited to work with them on implementing Aspen Discovery!

Meg Flynn, Assistant Director, Grand County Public Library recently commented:

Library patrons and staff are LOVING the snazzy new catalog! It's intuitive to use, provides a comprehensive display of our offerings, and is visually appealing. Within moments of announcing the new catalog, we were helping excited patrons download the app, browse for items, and use the library card image on their phones to breeze through self-checkout. Huge thanks to our implementation specialist Morgan for teaching us how to customize Aspen Discovery for our library and answering all of our questions along the way. We're looking forward to using Aspen Discovery and working with ByWater's fantastic support team to continually improve our library's online presence.
