In July 2020, the American Library Association (ALA) announced the 13 public libraries selected to receive a total of $1.3 million to bolster their library entrepreneurship centers. Libraries Build Business (LBB) is a national initiative supported by Google.org to build capacity in libraries offering programming or services to local entrepreneurs and the small business community. The core objective of Libraries Build Business is to identify library-led entrepreneurship models that will best help low-income and/or under-represented entrepreneurs to start and grow small businesses.
