The Business CenterEach folder has multiple articles within it

The Business Section of the Maywood Public Library District can be found in the Adult Services Department on the 3rd floor.  Located in this area is the Value Line 600, which is updated monthly, books on businesses and jobs, flyers, brochures, and folders with business articles.  Each folder has multiple articles within it that are free to take. The titles of these articles are:

  • Is Entrepreneurship for You
  • Business Loan Checklist
  • Franchise Opportunities: Buying Into a Big-Name Brand
  • Venture Capital
  • Register Your Business

Housing Helpers Inc. visited the Library and brought a number of materials with them on foreclosure prevention.  Some of the materials in the folder includes “Mortgage Foreclosure: What to Do When It Happens and Where to Get Help,” “Circuit Court of Cook County Mortgage Foreclosure Mediation Program,” “How Do I Respond to a Lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County,” “Independent Foreclosure Review,” and information on the Illinois Hardest Hit program.  These folder are free for patrons to take with them.    The Maywood Public Library District now has a scanner by the Business Center.

The Scanner

The Maywood Public Library District now has a scanner by the Business Center.  Documents can be scanned onto a flash drive as a PDF (Portable Document Format) file, or, if the document is in paragraph format, it can scan a document into text.  If you have multiple page, a feeder can be found on the top of the scanner.

Handouts and Brochures

There are always several items that can be taken from the Business Center. Books on writing resumes, business letters, careers guides, and jobs are also located in this area.  Some of the books can be checked out, but many of them are reference materials, so they will always be available in the Adult Services Department.
