Grove for Libraries is pleased to announce that the Metro Library in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, has migrated its Aspen Discovery hosting and support to Grove for Libraries.


Metro Library has worked with the Grove team on Aspen custom development for several years. Through this expanded partnership, Grove will now provide hosting and ongoing support for Metro Library’s Aspen Discovery catalog in addition to continued custom development.

“Discovery is an important part of helping our guests find and use the resources available through Metro Library. Grove’s experience with Aspen Discovery and their focus on creating a better experience for library users make them a great partner. We’re excited to work with Grove to make it easier for our community to discover our collections, services, and resources." 


Janeal Walker, Director of Collection Services and Development

“Metro Library has a clear vision for what they want their discovery experience to be, and they bring an incredible level of thought and attention to the details that matter to their guests. We’ve really enjoyed working with their team on Aspen development over the years, and we’re excited to expand that relationship through hosting and support."
