Small Business Hub is Open...
for Business!
We are pleased to announce the opening of the new Small Business Hub on the Main floor of the Library with an all day open house on Wednesday, March 14.
The Small Business Hub is a partnership of small business building organizations in and around Longview to provide all the information and tools you need to start your own business. The City of Longview, Kelso/Longview Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Development Center, SCORE Vancouver, Lower Columbia College, Cowlitz Economic Development Council, Cowlitz Asset Building Coalition, Worksource, and Red Canoe have partnered with the LPL to provide a starting point for entrepreneurs to find the information, resources, and contacts they need to succesfully start or grow a business.
The Small Business Hub print collection emphasizes Start Ups, Finances, and Management and Growth while the dedicated Small Business Research databases help identify competitors, sources of supply, sales prospects, demographics, and industry trends. Our new Small Business Builder database will even help you create printable business and financial plans for your new venture!
The library also offers regular seminars from SCORE, WorkSource, and Red Canoe, public internet access computers with Microsoft Office, document scanning and copying capability, meeting rooms, projectors and screens for check-out, free wifi, and current business journals and periodicals. Longview business owners can also get a library card for their business!
If you have any questions or would like a tour of the space and resources, call Elizabeth at 360.442.5321.
