Hi everyone,

 

If you’re looking to support your local business community in 2021, consider the upcoming webinar below presented by Library Journal and Gale!

 

The downloadable guide to business services will be available to attendees and was written specifically for public libraries who may not have a dedicated “business” information professional on staff but who wish to reach out to this often underdeveloped patron base.

 

Learn how to be a valued partner to small businesses

HOW TO ENGAGE YOUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY

 

There are 31.7 million small businesses in the United States, employing 47% of the economy’s jobholders.¹ In times of crises, like the one we’re facing now, small businesses and their employees are the hardest hit. Your library can offer the essential support needed to help foster economy recovery.

Gale and Library Journal are hosting an in-depth webinar led by two librarians who have made small businesses their business. You’ll learn how to create unique programs, foster partnerships, and offer resources that will give small businesses the best chance for success and growth.

We hope you can join us!
