Daniell Whittington, Library Manager at the Corona Public Library, recently commented on the implementation:

The Corona Public Library has gone live with our new Aspen Discovery Layer on April 21! This upgrade to our catalog assists our patrons, community members, and even staff to search for physical and electronic materials in a seamless manner. As such, we anticipate the ease of access to materials & programs will directly correlate to our patrons' satisfaction with our library. In addition to our excitement of the incorporation of the LiDA app, we are eager to see the positive effects of a user-friendly app for our patrons. Thank you, ByWater, for your assistance with the integration of this platform!"
