Addie Van Salisbury of the Aspen Discovery Implementation Team recently commented, "Washoe was already a Koha partner of ours and they have been so excited to get live on Aspen. They really made use of all the features to customize the CSS to get the site exactly how they wanted. Washoe did a soft roll out of their site, using the Web Builder functionality to survey their patrons! Overwhelmingly, patron and staff response has been great. Washoe is a very hands on partner and I am so excited about them going live on Aspen!"
