In this paper, we present the character analogue of the Boole summation formula. Using this formula, an integral representation is derived for the alternating Dirichlet L-function and its derivative is evaluated at s = 0. Some applications of the character analogue of the Boole summation formula and the integral representation are given about the alternating Dirichlet L-function. Moreover, the reciprocity formulas for two new arithmetic sums, arising from the summation formulas, and for Hardy-Berndt sum S-p, (b, c : x) are proved.
