Grove for Libraries, the premier provider of services for the open-source Aspen platform, announces their support and development partnership with the Nashville Public Library, which also serves Metro Nashville Public Schools.
“Excellent customer service is our top priority at Nashville Public Library, and innovation is essential to meeting that standard. Thanks to our collaboration with Aspen, we can offer a quality user experience to everyone. The result is a community of readers who feel valued, encouraged, and supported at every stage of their learning and discovery journeys.”
- Terri Luke, Nashville Public Library Director
“NPL has worked with the folks from Grove for many years. They were instrumental in the early success of our school/public library partnership with Metro Nashville Public Schools. Aspen, as open-source software, has the flexibility we need to innovate. We are able to have different configurations for all 130+ schools and manage them all in one place. Aspen was early to develop many third-party integrations, reporting dashboards, and record grouping."
- Jenny Lane, Shared Systems Manager
“Nashville has been an Aspen innovator for many years, and we couldn’t be more excited to be working with them. Aspen owes much of its success to early collaboration between Grove’s Mark Noble and Nashville’s forward-thinking staff. We know this new partnership will lead to even more innovation for libraries.”
- Jordan Fields, Grove Co-Founder
Nashville Public Library’s instance of Aspen Discovery can be seen at https://catalog.library.nashville.org/ and https://school.library.nashville.org/ for Metro Nashville Public Schools.
