How cool is your local Library?
Apr 18th, 2007 by Vikram Rajan
Disclaimer: I’m a major library geek. I used to work at my public library growing up. And in high school, I used to hang out in our library. (Of course, it was less studious playing video games on one of the first h.s. student LANs with Internet access.)
And I still love libraries.
In May, the Half Hollow Hills library (Dix Hills) will be hosting their annual Small Business Education month series of seminars. I’m proud that they’ve invited me to present 2 of them; click to read about all 8 seminars. On behalf of the U.S. Small Business Administration, I’ve also presented at Freeport and Great Neck public libraries.
One of my recent podcasts referenced the Middle Country Public Library’s relationship with the Hauppauge Industrial Association. We enjoy amazing benefits (listen to “free call lists” post) as HIA members. While I co-chair 2 committees: Membership, and Business Development Committees - thus obliged to promote HIA - the benefits of HIA membership speak for itself.
Libraries can provide you market research resources & references. Librarians are experts at research. Libraries also have many trade magazines, journals, and newspapers.
Oh yea, your local library also has books… about business. Audiobooks too.
If your library hasn’t produced any business education seminars recently, I’d be happy to help them coordinate one. If your library does have any events, feel free to promote it in the Comments below.
