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 theSoutheast Florida Library Information Network (SEFLIN) in Florida.

The four libraries that went live on Aspen Discovery are the Boynton Beach City Library, the Delray Beach Public Library, the Lake Park Public Library, and the Palm Springs Public Library.

The Boynton Beach City Library was recently awarded the 2022 Library of the Year at the Florida Library Association Conference.

Kalleen Marquise, Aspen Implementation Specialist for ByWater Solutions, recently commented on the implementation.

As a fellow Florida librarian, it was great helping these four SEFLIN libraries implement Aspen Discovery. I was able to meet many of the staff at both the Florida Summit and the FLA Conference. These libraries created unique, engaging, and user friendly catalogs for their users and I am excited to continuing working with them.
