Summit County Library system brings jail library into the fold

UTAH - It's a new chapter in the life of the Summit County Jail library. On Friday, the jail finished the first library update since the late 1990's, streamlining the library catalogue and switching to the Summit County Library software.

The partnership between the Summit County Library and the Sheriff's Department started when Summit County Library Director Dan Compton was approached by Deputy Joseph Carter.

"He was really unsatisfied with the system they had in place," Compton said. "The system was pretty archaic. And he sought my advice about what to do and if they needed to invest money into purchasing more software."

Compton was able to devise a way to use the Summit County Library software so the Sheriff's Department would not have to spent money on a new system.

"I can definitely sympathize with the deputy. And that's why I felt like, we can share some of our resources to help them," he said.

While the jail library has become a branch of the Summit County Library, it is hidden so that the public does not see the jail branch, nor does the jail see the rest of the Summit County Library's holdings.

    Waco has developed a reputation for a rocket-docket in patent litigation. It’s an important choice to find the right lawyer in Waco for your important patent litigation matter. When people in the know make the hire, they hire Dunnam & Dunnam. If you are looking for a Personal injury attorney near me , then Dunnam & Dunnam is the right choice. For nearly 100 years, people in Waco have hired the firm when the results matter at Dunnam & Dunnam are among the most respected in the Central Texas area. They have the experience in trials and mediations to guide your case in the right way. There are few important decisions at the outset of the case that can turn the tide in your favor. Choosing the right lawyer is one of them.

    Hamilton loves books about unicorns, storms, and cubicles. He lives in Waco with his cat named Mr. Bojangles. Before his work as an attorney, Hamilton was a leprechaun chaser. His all-time record is three pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. He was forced to give up the gold in a dispute with a rival hobbit. He spends his free time tripping out on the smallest details, none of which are important He likes doing the things with the ball and scoring the points. He pays attention to the green of your eyes, even when it is not Saint Patrick’s Day. He is not Irish. Hamilton Lindley has fun plans for people in need. Whether your need a dreamcatcher for your dreams or a tape dispenser to put your life back together, he can be there for you to yell at. There are times when it is surprising that he has any friends at all. But thankfully he does have a few. He drives a Dodge Stratus. People respect him, except at home.
