Business Resources

We live in the Information Age.  Let's start acting like it.

The brilliance of the public library is that it connects the Spokane business community with the same resources that would otherwise be within the reach of only wealthy individuals or large corporations.  Let's use that power to our collective advantage.

Of the many questions the library receives regarding business, the queries tend to fall into the following broad categories:

• What are the demographics for my market? 
   
  
• Who are my competitors?
  
  
• What are the industry trends for my business?
  
  
• Who are my customers and where are they located?
  
  
• What local agencies provide business classes, coaching, networking opportunities or other assistance?
  
  
• What funding sources are available for new, local businesses?

If you don’t find what you were hoping to find on these pages either call the Downtown Library Reference Desk at 444-5336 or email the library staff.  Alternately, if you do find the information you were looking for, we'd like to hear about that as well.

Best wishes to you and the Spokane business community!
