In an effort to stay up-to-date and become more mobile friendly, the Davis County Library has updated its website. “Our new website has been coming for a while – we’ve been working with the Davis County Information Systems Department since early 2021,” said Josh Johnson, Director at the Davis County Library.

Along with this update, the library has also included new reservation software to help reserve meeting rooms. Another addition is the event calendar software. “What we were using was adequate, but the software upgrade will modernize and simplify the process for both patrons and staff,” said Johnson.

The new website and software upgrades are designed to be easier to navigate, more intuitive and more mobile friendly. “I think the most relevant feature is mobile friendliness,” said Johnson.

The rollout took place Monday, Jan. 31, at 7 a.m., and everything is running well. The county library is pleased with the way everything was handled. “We are excited for our new website design. We hope you enjoy using it,” stated an email sent from the library.

The county sent this email to every library cardholder with information about the changes. The letter stated, “Due to this new reservation system, a change has been made to our meeting room policy. Any new reservations for auditoriums will be limited to six months in advance beginning Jan. 30. Any reservations made prior to Jan. 25, 2023, will be grandfathered in under the previous meeting room policy.”
