Getting Down To Business at the Library This October

Is there a connection between small business and public library? Will you connect small business to research? The answer is yes! This is one of the unique services that you may not expect from your public library.

Halifax Public Libraries supports entrepreneurs and small business owners by offering free electronic and print resources, one-on-one small business startup information consultations and programs.

You have an idea, need to write a business plan, research your competition and not sure where to start? – At the library! Your library has got all the tools you need to make your business a success:

Starting a Successful Business in Canada Kit by J. D. James
Canadian Legal Guide for Small Business by Nishan Swais
Business Plans Handbook
How to Write a Business Plan by Mike McKeever
The Social Media Bible: tactics, tools, and strategies for business success by Lon Safko

With the support of our partners, Small Business Week at the Library was held at the Halifax Central Library on October 13-20, 2015.  This is the first time the library is hosting a Small Business Week at the Library! Celebrate the our final events with us and our partners!

Welcome to The Reader, a blog from the Readers' Services staff at Halifax Public Libraries. Our goal is to create a forum for book news and related discussion among leisure readers. A place for Halifax leisure readers to interact with their library and the larger community of leisure readers.
