A nationwide initiative that launched in 2020, Libraries Build Business (LBB) aims to build capacity in libraries offering programming or services to local entrepreneurs and the small business community, prioritizing low-income and underrepresented entrepreneurs. And libraries have already begun to transform communities, with programs ranging from one-on-one business consultations, classes, and workshops to networking and equipment lending, as the many initiatives spotlighted in this book demonstrate. Serving as powerful models of how libraries and their staff can advance innovation and economic growth on any budget and scale, these examples will inspire you to plug into your own community while guiding you through the nuts-and-bolts of making it happen. 650 0 $a Libraries and business. 650 0 $a Libraries and industry. 650 0 $a Libraries and adult education. 650 0 $a Economic development $z United States. 650 0 $a Small business $x Customer services $z United States. 650 0 $a Businesspeople $x Customer services $z United States. 650 0 $a Public services (Libraries) $z United States. 650 0 $a Public libraries $x Customer services $z United States. 650 7 $a Economic development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901785 650 7 $a Libraries and adult education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997495 650 7 $a Libraries and business. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997503 650 7 $a Libraries and industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997525 650 7 $a Public services (Libraries) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083042 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Janicki, Megan, $e editor. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717025528.0 952 $l IAOX771 $d 20240710104043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=489CBAB081C611EDB019020636ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
