Learn about the wealth of material that is available at the Westport Public Library, free of charge. These include the computer-based search services Reference USA, D & B Million Dollar Database, LexisNexis and General OneFile.

Westport Public Library Reference Librarians Sylvia Schulman and Margie Freilich-Den will share time-saving tips for entrepreneurs and jobseekers at the FINE meeting on Thursday, March 19th.

Entrepreneurs and those in transition who are considering starting their own business can use the resources to find credible research for a business plan or marketing plan and to develop lists of prospective clients.

Those in transition who are pursuing a job can use the library resources to target potential employers, prepare for interviews, and stay informed about their field of interest.

Everyone can find recent and older articles in magazines, trade and professional journals and newspapers to build their knowledge of current business news and trends.





FINE February Networking Meeting a Success

We had a very good turnout and positive feedback about Michele Albano’s, owner of Michele’s Pies, presentation at our February meeting. She told an impressive story of how she started baking in a condo in Vermont, won awards at the National Pie Championship and now has her own shop in Norwalk.
