Andrew Harant, Director of the Cuyahoga Falls Public Library, recently commented on the implementation:
The library's new Aspen Discovery Layer went live on February 24. It was clear in our search process that Aspen was the best choice for improving our library staff and patrons' experiences, and now that we're live, it is even more clear. I'm particularly glad to hear from several patrons who love the new catalog, including one senior citizen who said she was a little nervous at first, but found her way around and had no problems. Thanks to the Bywater Solutions Team for working with on the migration, and we look forward to our future together."

In 1912 the original red brick building opened on Second Street. The library moved to its current location in 1971, and the name was changed to Cuyahoga Falls Library in 2004.
