Central Library 22 January
If you've called into our Central Library recently, you may have noticed some changes to the Reference and Information section.
Funding from the British Library has enabled us to renovate this area and develop and build on our services to support aspiring entrepreneurs and the business community.
We're delighted to announce that the resulting new look Business & IP Centre will launch officially on 22 January.
Eric Pickles,
Secretary of State for the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) will give a keynote speech on the night and
Sheffield entrepreneur, Guy Jeremiah, founder of Ohyo, will reveal the secrets
of his success.
The Enterprising Libraries programme, supported by the DCLG and Arts Council England, is transforming libraries into
enterprise hubs to spark local economic growth and improve social mobility in
their communities.
Our new BIPC centre builds on a successful model in London and is part of a wider National Network which also includes Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham.
