Pelham Public Library Chooses ByWater Solutions’ Koha Support

ByWater Solutions, an open source community supporter and the U.S.’ forefront provider of Koha support, announced today that Pelham Public Library in New Hampshire is now live on their installation of the Koha integrated library system.

ByWater Solutions completed the migration for the Pelham Public Library at the end of January and will be providing ongoing Koha support and hosting services for them.

Corinne Chronopoulos, Library Director at the Pelham Public Library spoke of her decision to migrate to an open source ILS:

“We took a careful look at multiple ILS products and decided an open source solution was the best long-term decision. We know Koha will continue to improve and we will reap the benefits of the communities developments. It’s also given us great teaching opportunities to explain about open source technologies to our patrons and how the library is choosing innovative solutions that will save them money. We are very happy with our decision to partner with ByWater Solutions for Koha support and had a painless and speedy migration process.”
