Did you know that more than half of Americans either own or work for a small business? And that small businesses create two out of every three new jobs in the US each year?
The U.S. Small Business Administration has proclaimed April 29th to May 5th 2018 Small Business Week to recognize the critical contributions of America's entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Whether you are a small business owner or just dreaming about becoming an entrepreneur, Chicago Public Library has free, helpful resources for you. Join us for small business programs and workshops taking place at CPL branches during Small Business Week 2018, including:
- Smart Ways to Finance Your Small Business on Wednesday, May 2 from 1-4 p.m. at Harold Washington Library Center
- Ready, Set, Go: Business Smart Workshop on Saturday, May 5 from 2-3 p.m. at West Chicago Avenue Branch
