Our Entrepreneurship Collection has Found a New Location!

We relocated our Entrepreneurship Collection to a student centered spot in our library. Students can easily browse the collection in the new spot. More books are placed with their "covers facing front" to display the titles and encourage teens to pick up a book on the spot. We often find the books in other spots, a sure sign showing that someone was interested and reading.

"The Entrepreneurship Collection" by Joshua Capulong, Finance Academy Student

The entrepreneur collection in the library is very diverse and covers entrepreneurs of all sorts of genres. Whether it was food to inventions to technology the library has it all. I used this collection to see how all the entrepreneurs started off and how they found their drive within themselves. Everyone must start off some place and reading about how other people started off makes me think more carefully on how I want to live my life. I drew inspiration from business people such as Ettore Boiardi known as Chef Boyardee and the woman that invented the bulletproof vest, Stephanie Kwolek. Thanks to the library I was able to learn about all these entrepreneurs.
