Louisville Courier-Journal (Louisville,KY) Looks Inside the Louisville Free Public Library, and likes what they see.
Small businesses and entrepreneurs should view the library as “an economic tool,” said its director, Craig Buthod. It offers services that range from downloadable legal forms to online databases and business-skills workshops. There is “something specific to whatever your line of business is,” he said.
“The value of the librarian in sorting it out has increased,” Buthod said. “It used to be that the librarian was a gatekeeper — you had to go through the librarian to get to any of this. Now, there’s so much out there that what you need is not a gatekeeper; you need someone to help you sift and sort and evaluate.”
