Kelly McElligott, Educator at ByWater Solutions, recently commented on the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Library:

We had the extreme pleasure to visit a new partner, the Georgia O’Keefe Library, this past week. In addition to seeing how this research library used Koha, we also experienced original Georgia O’Keefe paintings and were shown examples of the her art process. This experience allowed us to take a glimpse into Georgia O’Keefe’s art as well as connect to a ByWater partner library on a personal level.
