It's Your Business: How to Talk about Library Services for Entrepreneurs & Small Business Owners
Libraries have an incredibly valuable array of resources and services to help small business owners and entrepreneurs start and thrive.

Dr. Audrey Barbakoff, co-author of the Libraries Build Business Communications Toolkit will share some of the ways your library is already equipped to support small businesses (even if you don't know it yet!), and share tips for communicating effectively with each of the four key audiences for your small business services.
