This year’s Libraries Week theme, ‘Libraries Change Lives by sustaining economic growth’, highlights the powerful impact libraries have in transforming lives, supporting communities and building a sustainable economy.
At the Business & IP Centre, we’re proud to support small businesses and drive economic growth across the UK by helping over 40,000 entrepreneurs each year to start, grow and protect their businesses, with our scale-up programme alone delivering a return of £16.84 for every £1 of public money spent.
In our recent article we reached out to just some of the individuals who we have supported over the years to hear first-hand how libraries have changed their lives.
