Resilient Reads: The Path to Ownership has Turns

Starting a business always presents challenges, and continuing on through a pandemic and economic uncertainty takes wisdom. Joel Daniels is combining community and research to propel his business toward full operation. Though daily challenges in our current era can obscure positive and clear thought, the wisdom found in community and research can energize us and keep our work moving in positive directions.   
 
Mr. Daniels has titled his talk, The Path to Ownership Has Turns, and will focus on three authors whose frameworks and ideas have have shaped his path forward during challenging times. You can access e-books and audio e-books through the Libby App with your library card.

How Business Librarians Support Small Business Communities

Though you may not have heard of a public business librarian before meeting me, there are many of us, and we support local small business communities across the country. Whether working from a public, academic, or special library, we connect business owners and entrepreneurs with information and one another to empower local economies to thrive. There are many ways that I support local business communities through Jackson County Library Services. 

The best way I can describe what I do is to share a few questions that I'm asked most frequently.
