BLINC is a community of public, academic, and special librarians who value networking, supporting each other, and offering frequent and free workshops. 

We focus on how libraries support community engagement, economic development, entrepreneurship, small business, nonprofits, job hunting, and business education. However, many of our members are not business librarians. We are a welcoming and inviting group. 

Every year since we formed in 2003, BLINC has met for free quarterly workshops open to all. We usually alternate meeting online and gathering in different cities. The workshops feature peer-training, peer-mentoring, discussions, resource sharing, and sometimes outside-experts.

BLINC uses a Google Group to allow its members to communicate with each other (share workshop notes, share news, ask questions, recruit a project partner, etc.). If you would like to be added, just email one of the officers (see below).

Information on our upcoming Fall Quarterly BLINC Workshop will be added here once plans are finalized! If you would like to join the BLINC Google Group to receive notifications via email for updates and reminders about workshops, please contact one of the BLINC officers.

As always, everyone is invited to the quarterly workshop. You don't have to be a member of our section to attend. Come and meet welcoming librarians interested in entrepreneurship and business-related discussions and solutions.
