BUSINESS NEWS YOU CAN USE! Maureen Kilmoury let us know about a brand new business web site
thatÕs been put together by the Contra Costa Library! So, dust off your library
card to get online (if you donÕt have one, just ask Maureen, sheÕll tell you
how to get one) The information on the
site is exceptional. They have
brought together a number of different resources for you to use to grow and
manage your business. All in one
place! The site is well laid out
and itÕs very easy to navigate.
So, if youÕre like me, and
hadnÕt been in the library since you were in high school, get in there
now! You really shouldnÕt pass
up this great free service! ItÕs sure not your motherÕs
library! YouÕll be amazed at all
you can do online! You can access the
business site at: http://ccclib.org/business/index.html SHOP ONLINE AND BENEFIT THE ROTARY FOUNDATION If you like to shop
