Entrepreneurs Encouraged to Attend ‘Small Business Saturdays’ at County Libraries

Aspiring small business owners throughout Los Angeles County are encouraged to attend upcoming “Small Business Saturdays” workshops being held monthly at various County Public Libraries during the year.

“Small Business Saturdays were designed specifically to ensure that local entrepreneurs were aware of all resources available to them,” said Yolanda De Ramus, Acting County Librarian and Chief Deputy.  “Attendees will get guidance on the basics – from obtaining a business license and financing a business to the latest information about business taxes as well as the many resources entrepreneurs can access through the County Public Library.”

Space is limited, so entrepreneurs interested in attending a workshop should RSVP to concierge@dcba.lacounty.gov<mailto:concierge@dcba.lacounty.gov>.

All Small Business Saturdays workshops are held from 10 a.m. to Noon. The schedule is as follows:

Sat., Jan. 23, 2016
Rowland Heights Library
1850 Nogales St.
Rowland Heights, CA 91748

Sat., July 23, 2016
Clifton M. Brakensiek Library
9945 E. Flower St.
