The Grantsville City Library Goes Live on Koha with ByWater

by Jessie Zairo on Feb 4, 2020

ByWater Solutions, America’s forefront provider of Open Source library technology support, announced today that The Grantsville City Library of Grantsville, Utah is now live on Koha! ByWater completed the transition of the libraries' 37,000 plus holdings from the Symphony ILS and is providing ongoing support services to the library.

The libraries' customized Koha OPAC's can be viewed at https://grantsvilleut.bywatersolutions.com/.

Donna Bachowski, Educator at ByWater Solutions, recently commented on the migration:

I was tremendously impressed with the dedication of the Grantsville Library staff. Throughout the training, they were focused on how to configure Koha to best serve the needs of their patrons. While the focus during training is the essentials of Koha, it was exciting to see them creating a “Future Enhancements” list of all those “wouldn’t it be great if we could…” ideas.
