Interested in making a promotional video for your business? The library provides access to studios and equipment so you can create one at no cost. In January, the library expanded its services with the help of our partner SCORE Chicago in January 2018, encouraging small business owners and entrepreneurs to take advantage of free mentoring resources on the first Thursday of every month. Through this new service, SCORE Chicago’s business counselors provide confidential mentoring sessions for as long as the client needs. SCORE Business Mentoring at the Library has proved extremely successful. “We seem to really have resonated with new or small local businesses by assessing their needs and objectives, and then guiding them using our experience in business strategy, traditional and digital marketing and sales,” said Branch Manager for SCORE Chicago, Karen Spesard.

Our Business Services staff can even help you put together a targeted mailing list to get the most bang for your buck using criteria such as location or lifestyle interests. “I hope Arlington Heights residents and businesses know that we offer a host of programs and resources to support starting or growing a business or nonprofit,” said Specialty Info Services Advisor Diane Malik. “I invite customers to contact me to learn more.”
